Not in your best interest

It is a hard decision when someone you love reaches out for your help but is not in your best interest to reach back. There comes a point when you have to realize that letting them hurt you knowing that you can not help them that they can only help themselves helps no one but does damage to you and others around you. To decide to save yourself so that you can be there for them and others later is in the best interest of everyone. Before you can save anyone you have to save yourself.
