DIFFICULT PEOPLE:


Few things can make us feel crazier than expecting something from
someone who has nothing to give. We may have spent years
negotiating with reality concerning particular people from our past
and our present. We may have spent years trying to get someone
to love us in a certain way, when that person cannot or will not.

It is time to let it go. That doesn't mean we can't love that person
anymore. It means that we will feel the immense relief that comes
when we stop denying reality and begin accepting. We release that
person to be who he or she actually is.

We learn to love and care differently in a way that takes reality
into account.

We enter into a relationship with that person on new terms
– taking ourselves and our needs into account. If a person is
addicted to alcohol, other drugs, misery, or other people, we let
go of his or her addiction; we take our hands off it. We give his or
her life back. And we, in the process, are given our life and
freedom in return.

We stop letting what we are not getting from that person control
us. We take responsibility for our life. We go ahead with the
process of loving and taking care of ourselves.

We decide how we want to interact with that person, taking reality
and our own best interests into account. We get angry, we feel hurt,
but we land in a place of forgiveness. We set him or her free, and
we become set free from bondage.
