Jak,
It sounds like you've identified an important pattern in your M that is keeping things the same. What is keeping you in this pattern? What are the triggers? What specifically do you think, feel, and do to contribute to maintaining this relational pattern?

Maybe if this can be articulated, then you will have some ideas on what you need to change. Of course, it will be a difficult change for you. There is perceived safety in maintaining the current pattern.

From the poem Habit by Jane Hirshfield:

But habit is different: it chooses.
And we, its good horse,
opening our mouths at even the sight of the bit.
