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.
