Taking care of ourselves emotionally includes refusing to make someone else's maltreatment of us as being at, against, or about us!
Why would w decide that their confused, unhappy thoughts, are our fault? How kind is it to tell ourselves that they don't care about us? Why would we hurt ourselves with such unkind thoughts just because THEY say, and act the way they do out of THEIR own unhappy story?
And the real question is ... how can we treat ourselves so unkindly, and expect them to treat us any better?! I'm just saying... the world is a mirror - only every time.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
