This resonated with me so much, Michelle, thank you. The impact that some people have in our lives is hard to comprehend at times. Some absolute ‘ah-ha’ moments here and I will now attempt to put into practice much of this 🙏
Me too. I recently tried sharing (in writing) my thoughtful feelings about how I am not willing to be continuely disrespected and this family member completely disregarded me. They can't 'hear' me or are choosing not to. So, detaching is what I need to do for myself and my mental well-being. It's been almost 10 years that this person has been in my family's life. I'm not getting any younger so I'm choosing self-care even if it means not seeing my grandchildren for the time being. 😔Letting go, and letting God handle the situation.
Ditto for me as well. It was a sibling and no matter how I expressed myself or turned myself into a pretzel to get her to hear me she was not interested. Eventually I did not feel emotionally safe with her as I was constantly being gaslighted. No contact for over a decade now. No more walking on eggshells.

@ yeah that’s rough. We are powerless over them but not us.
You have a very welcoming warm approach. Thanks for your wisdom
