Stand firm. Be solid. The lies will reveal themselves as lies. Don't play into them. Ignore them. Don't plead with the family member and say they are lies.

She is going to continue to spiral out of control. People will notice, and you will come out looking like the sane one.

You have to be the stable one. Push all those thoughts out of your head about her having you as a piece of meat or whatever.

Pretend she went to Iraq or something and you just can't see her now. Pretend her family went with her.

You focus on you being the strongest man you can be.

Eat.

It is going to be hard. Don't let anything she says get to you. Become the iceman. Don't show the emotions.

Detach from her and the family.

The boy your buddy he will come around. He has a brain of his own. If he is your buddy, he'll still be your buddy. Don't convince him of something he already knows.

You can deny the lies, but do not justify. Just simply say it isn't true.

You don't know that for sure. Sometimes you think to ahead in the future mycroft. You have to think each moment. The moment now. What can you improve. Are you filled with prayer? Are you filled with substance of food?

Exercise, cardio. Eat. Pray. Rest. And work. This is your only focus.

Not about what she did. Not about what she is doing. Who she is lying too. Who she is running around with. Where she is at. What her vendetta is.

This maybe your call to holiness.
