Outstanding question. Finding something that already fits with yourself is also great as finding something you wish to learn and grow into.

I think if this new way to direct your spirituallity is right for you, you will find the strength and compassion to move on from this person. I'm a bit familiar withwhat i think you alluded to. You may find your answer in what manner to proceed.

In the meantime try to ignore this person, or reduce contact, or make it short. I try to put myself in control of situations like these. At the beginning i advise them I'm between things and have to keep it short (yes a white lie). That way when things get too heated, i have my excuse to bow out. I think it is within sprituality to have to do this. It is part of self care.
