It's easier said than done, you know.  |
It can be a difficult lesson to learn. My 12 Step program teaches that we are powerless over other people. We can't force people to listen to us, take us seriously or believe the same things we do.
Maybe this is part of wishing to have control and make an unhappy situation for you better, as if she was a different person? Some people call it wishful thinking. We wish for unattainable things. Try to learn the right lessons here so you don't waste your time in toxic relationships. There is usually quite a lot we can learn about ourselves so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
It's time to stop thinking about her and start thinking about yourself.
This is speaking as someone who was a very slow learner.
