FAMILY BUTTONS:
Who knows better how to push our
buttons than family members?
No matter how long we or our
family members have been
recovering, relationships with family
members can be provocative.
One telephone conversation can put
us in an emotional and psychological
tailspin that last for hours or days.
Sometimes, it gets worse when we
begin recovery because we become
even more aware of our reactions and
our discomfort.
The process of detaching in love from
family members can take years. So
can the process of learning how to
react in a more effective way. We
cannot control what they do or try to
do, but we can gain some sense of
control over how we choose to react.
Their patterns, particularly their
patterns with us, are their issues. How
we react, or allow these patterns to
influence us, is our issue.
We can love our family and still refuse
to buy into their issues. We can love
our family but refuse their efforts to
manipulate, control, or produce guilt
in us.
We can learn to love our family
without forfeiting love and respect for
ourselves.
