5 Things To Remember When Dealing With Toxic Family Members
There is a lot of advice to be found about getting rid of a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. But what do you do when you have an issue with a family member?
When it comes to family, you are sometimes not in a position where you can just break off the relationship and walk away.
Or maybe we don’t really want to walk away or will feel horrible if we do. So, what do you do?
Even though not every case of dealing with a negative family member is the same, there are some universal principles you need to remember.
Below are 5 things to remember when dealing with disgruntled family members.
1. Pretending that their behavior is OK is not OK
These types family members sometimes behave the way they do to get what they want. It’s just so much easier to give in than it is to fight it. Right? Wrong!
Short-term ease equals long-term pain for you in a situation like this. These people won’t change if they are being rewarded for not changing.
Decide this minute not to be influenced by their behavior. Stop giving in to them or making special pardons for their behaviors.
Constant drama and negativity is never worth putting up with.
