[quote=Anonymous]It's really hard to not engage. You're a grownup. You can see how the other person should behave. You keep going into this, hoping they'll change. But they don't. Things get better for a bit and you let down your guard and engage again and you end up disappointed. It was really hard for me to not engage my mom. Ultimately it was the best thing for me and our relationship got better as a result (no guarantees on that though) but it was sooooo hard. It should be the way you want it - you deserve that. But you're not going to get it and you're just going to hurt your head beating it against the wall that way. So take a step back. Maybe grieve the fact that you didn't get the mom you deserved. It's all part of being the grown up now. It sucks. But it's the step you gotta take before things get better. Good luck, OP![/quote]
