Forgive and Forget.
And the person continued on as if it didn't make a difference. So for me it's like, okay, well, this is where you feel. And then a few weeks later to turn around and ask me of all people for empathy when that situation occurred to them personally. I just find it off putting. I found it very off putting. I found it very what is the exact wording? I'm guessing now this is a reverse request of empathy. Maybe gaslighting

I like to be respectful, and we could talk about things that are hard and we don't have to agree, but we do have to be respectful with one another when we have these conversations. Even though we're family, I think it's so hard

Hey, Ronnie, this is Rezo. Today. I wanted to take just a moment before I get started on my reply and just saying that I really do get the sentiment and the the sort of precarious nature of what you're going through and the circumstance, because family is complicated. And I'm sure I don't have to tell you that it's complicated. We have our virtues and values, but then we also have the dynamic of family

But I think if we remember what happens between us and other people, it can direct our behavior moving forward. And if it's a negative situation that's occurring with a person, then we need knowledge of past experiences to either change our state of mind about it or change the situation. And you can use all sorts of different communication styles to put in your boundaries for self care so that you're getting the value you need out of that conversation or that relationship
I'm very grateful that I don't really have to deal with that, at least not on a consistent basis. There are some things, but overall pretty good. But this situation just took me for a loop and I was taken aback. So now I am enacting boundaries thanks to everyone's advice. I'm talking through with my husband about what the boundaries are and what that looks like as relates to me in particular
