Words of wisdom.
You just never know where someone has been. The road they have been on. The upbringing they have had. The relationships they have endured. The health issues they may have had (or have and trudge through silently). The defeat they have felt. The challenges they face. I think when someone shows themselves to us, we do need to take it for what it is...when a person shows you who they really are, believe them. But also take the other factors into consideration. That doesn't mean you have to take shit from someone or be their scapegoat or doormat. What it does mean is that, though you might not agree with something they said, did or the way they act, there is likely a story behind it. See if there is some compassion in your heart to overlook it or make the decision that a line has been crossed, that there is no going back. But never make that choice without some careful consideration. Once a tie is severed, it is difficult, if not impossible to reconnect. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance....??
