Parents
I used to have parents who acted more like parents. They've said terrible things to me out of anger and then wonder why I feel disrespected.
I don't really know them anymore. I once respected them, despite their imperfections. They were all I knew, I had no other choice but to do what they said.
There is so much wrong with the world today. Everywhere. But real change starts at home. Looking at who you are and changing things. I know who I am. I went to doctors and took pills. I still do. But the people I care about never admit their shortcomings. If more people faced themselves and their problems, we'd all be better off.
I'm tired of being the scapegoat.
I'm going to expect that means you are on the path of not allowing yourself to be made that scapegoat any more.
Setting that boundary will get some resistance, but hey, set it and hold it!
