Playing hard ball will get you no where. Yea, it might make you feel better to act this way, but at the end of the day, the crisis person is going to do whatever it is they need to do to make themselves feel better.

Their clocks are very, very slow, unlike ours. It has taken years for them to get where they are today and it's going to take some time for them to work through those childhood issues, learn to accept the things that they weren't responsible for and come to understand that they were children and couldn't do a thing about whatever happened and learn to accept that they are good people and have people who love them in the here and now.
Dig deeper for patience, compassion and understanding.
