I am glad you found it helpful WovenGalaxy. I think it's important to think about how involved you are with the individual. If it's just a distant family friend, then maybe it's not worth your effort. If they play their games with you directly, then stand up to them and don't let them know they can engage you like that.

Don't be hard on yourself, if you went through a period where you struggled badly, maybe you did react, you are human, we all are. The thing is you have taken steps to pay attention to your behaviors and improve on them in healthier ways.

I don't nail it perfectly all the time, no one does.
