Yes, I think Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (designed for borderline, but helpful in many other mental illness as I also have bipolar) teaches about "Radical Acceptance." Part of that is realizing we cannot change a person's thoughts, emotions or behaviors so we have to choose to accept them or if they are unacceptable, as in immoral in our eyes, we break our relationship w/that person.

I wanted my husband to be offended by what I was, livid about what I was upset about, etc. He is very easy going & live & let live type of person (thankfully or he would have divorced me long ago), but I kept trying to change the world to accommodate me so I wouldn't feel any distress...

Through DBT I've learned how to "pick my battles" as I used to make a crusade out of EVERYTHING. If something was unjust, or people were rude, or whatever I was in a mode of "attack."

Now I realize I have to accept a lot of things that I don't agree with. But for my mental health I cannot attack every issue that comes my way. "Radical Acceptance" & then learning coping skills!!
