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.
