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

symphonyoflovenet:

“Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.”

— Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

backtrace the anger

to the hurt it hides

anger is always

a secondary emotion

accept you feel hurt

get out of your feelings

breathe, ground, center

then seek to understand

why?

where are you attached

to an outcome or timeline

cestlaviepeople:

attachment to a timeline

creates distraction in the present

enjoy the journey

without attachment to the destination
