For me, I just come to a place of recognizing they are who they are.
Who am I to want something different for them?
And stepping out of the way to allow them to do what they are going to do anyways.
And recognizing that I love them just the same, but there comes a place where a healthy relationship can no longer be maintained for either one of us.
They may care in their own way, but I am asking something of them that they are incapable of.

when you’ve done

all you can

to be there for someone

trapped in a narcissistic

and devaluing pattern

freedom

is realizing this truth

accept reality

with resentment

over “unfairness”

it simply is

what it is

accept, don’t resist

and then adapt and learn

to flow with reality

of who others are

of what your circumstances have become

of where your choices have led

of where others choices have led

and out of peaceful acceptance

thoughtfully, calmly, rationally

kindly, compassionately, effectively

choose to respond in ways

that make things steadily

better
