[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is too short. You’ll regret this childish behavior. They are old and not going to change. Try to look for the good in them - they’ll soon be gone forever. [/quote]

It is not childish to expect people to apologize when they have wronged are harmed you, and stop harmful behavior when asked.

It IS childish to expect people to continue wanting to be around you or engage with you when you ignore their feelings, fail to own up to your mistakes, refuse to apologize when you are wrong, and generally treat them with dismissal and disrespect.

Want a healthy adult relationship, with anyone? Treat them with respect, kindness, openness and authenticity.

It is extraordinarily selfish and childish for grown adults to think they can treat people with disrespect, with no consequences. [/quote]

Many of us try to tell OP to GIVE THEM THE EFFING CONSEQUENCES AND GO NO CONTACT without further enmeshment by "trying to get them to understand/apologize/change."

But ooooh nooo that's not what they ans some PPs want.

Get over it (trying to change what you can't change) or keep on trying to push that rock uphill because you don't have the wisdom of mental health to know what won't change.[/quote]
