Sometimes you have to let things go to truly appreciate how much you love them. Similarly, sometimes you have to let go of negative relationships to assist others to appreciate you.
It's not always easy to let go of people you have been close to for some time, but every once in a while your instincts tell you certain relationships are not good for your self-esteem & it's time to explain to the person how you feel, then take some time apart. If the person values your relationship he/she will deeply think about how you feel and re-evaluate his/her behaviour accordingly.
Standing up for yourself does not guarantee the person will come around to your thinking, but it will protect you from getting hurt any further and will increase your self esteem when you acknowledge the value in yourself as a person.
It can be scary to let go of negative relationships, but it's worth it when they are damaging your self worth.
