Looking back on some family turmoil it feels silly that anyone ever tried to control me or that I was mad at them for doing so.
Waste of energy.
If you know what I’m talking about and you’re going through a similar thing my advice is to just disengage.
You don’t have to fight or try and change anyone’s mind.
You don’t even have to feel resentment.
Just do your own thing, without anyone else’s input.
March to the beat of your own drum.
Don’t hurt anyone, don’t make it dramatic. Don’t scream and gnash teeth. Just disengage entirely.
