Question on Family and Friends' Influnce on W

[asitis]

^^^^^ This.

And the only thing you can do on well-meaning friends and family is to work on yourself. If they see that you don't fit with the W's depiction of you, they may start to not worsen this dynamic. That's a big if. You work on your issues for other reasons. That it may have an impact on this other would just be a tiny bonus. We all want to disrupt this problem. If we knew how, we'd post it as a sticky. Trust us. Just focus on what you have control over.

Good luck.
