[quote=Anonymous]You cannot control other people, you can only control your reaction to them. Think of the things that your parent does that hits your hot button and think of your typical response. How can you change your typical response? Now, can you implement it? If you can do it successful, repeating as necessary (since the parent behavior will escalate, trying to get the successful response from years past, before it begins to abate) then you can maybe remove that one hot button issue. You then proceed to move to additional hot buttons. Note, you cannot change your parent because the behaviors are so ingrained but you can remove your hot button issues from their arsenal so that you can begin to relate and, eventually at the very least, enjoy the behaviors you see directed at less sensitive areas of your psyche.[/quote]
