Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory?

I’ll tell you the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships. Even family can mistreat and disrespect you.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. They just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. They did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel.
The end.
Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.

Let them go.

(Update: Cassie Phillips shed light on the Let Them Theory, drawing a connection between herself and Mel Robbins:

"The original mantra that began the Let Them theory originated in 2021. To which, I wrote an entire social media post and the subject took off. Many use a shortened version of the mantra calling it a poem. It has been used and recreated from globally from many, including Mel. In the summer of 2022 many began to have it tattooed after I decided to get it tattooed on my arm due to the significance. The tattoo became a hit, leading the mantra to Mel, Inspiring her to write a book. Unfortunately Mel and her agents realized the movement was going too strong for her to claim the entirety of the credit without being sued. So she has now decided to give credit and acknowledgment to the originator of the Let Them movement. And I have been living a very quiet and peaceful life under the radar for many years raising my children.
Until now. And that’s fine. I knew it would be a short lived vacation.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Cassie Phillips
I am in my thirties. My age isn’t as well seasoned for a writer, but I experienced pain and grief at a very young age. I have been asked to step into the light and explain the mantra, the reasoning, and a little about myself.

I will when I feel the time is right.
Soon, my friends."
