We are recovering but the insanity has been unbearable. Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm wishing you a quick recovery 🩷 Journaling is definitely a good outlet. Thank god for notebooks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherylyn Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 No matter who it is in this life, anytime past bad memories are here to stay, it does indeed destroy many or all relationships. It could be anybody. No one is spared. Why? Because always in the back of your mind, it makes you wonder when the next offense will come? It's only a matter of time. 😒 Trust had been irrevocably broken. Distrust becomes permanent. It's sad but true. I've noticed the best defense is to either be able to eliminate perpetrators from your life permanently and if that's impossible, pump the brakes on the relationship meaning enforce stricter boundaries. Truce is a good respite even though you know it's temporary. Take what you can get. I've had truces with complex people in my life and while it's all well and good, because of my situation, I can afford to either eliminate them from my life entirely or have the least amount of associations and interactions with them because we do not live together. It went from seeing these local people several times a month throughout the year to either zero or with some of them 2 - 3 times a year at the very most much to my splendid RELIEF. It's heaven sent. These are local relatives and in-laws. Boundaries are a beautiful thing. It says, "I will no longer allow you to mentally abuse me anymore. Go talk to a wall for all I care while I take a nap." 😴 💤 I'm out and very busy with my own life. I will carve out my own happiness with protection and SAFETY.

So it is a truce for now . Wonderful! Are you rewarding her with affection and kindness and some dedicated time just for her? In the same way it works to ‘catch’ kids on their best behavior and reward that with attention and encouragement, same is true with adults. They learn that acting out deprives them while good behavior gains them what they want… and maybe a little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
