I agree about trying to find your way out. I, too, commend you for compassionate insight to consider what's inside them to create such discourse. As you do detach and work on reactions, whether expressive reaction or internal reaction, don't dismiss how it leaves you feeling nor reminding yourself that you are a worthwhile individual worthy of respect and undeserving of mistreatment or being treated in a way that undermines your self worth and value as an individual. Sometimes, I've learned that even to bring to attention that certain behavior upsets me, it's not taken from a place of mutual desire where both sides are able to effect change. So, choose discussions wisely. Be willing to at least internally address it, reach out to a therapist or supportive non emotionally invested friend or support group. Sometimes silence with a dysfunctional family member is golden.
Thanks for this!
