let go

how much of a difficulty does giving up on something that you've spent a lot time creating and nourishing and then it had turned into something toxic, unpleasant..........not unlike your own personal Frankenstein. should you get yourself out of it as fast as you can as very obviously it is slowly sapping your energy and is making you miserable or do you try to keep it alive and make amends because letting it go would create a huge hole in your heart and that scares you?

i don't have an answer to this question.
