You don't owe anyone anything , if someone does not show the same respect you show them then that is on them . Sometimes we have to do what's right and what's best for us .We have to put ourselves first and that's ok.Don't ever feel wrong for putting yourself first , sometimes we have to do this in order to either protect ourselves or to grow as a person.
