YW. Well, to be direct ; ) what you just posted exhibited signs of OVER GENERALIZATION... a cognitive distortion... that because it happened before it will always be that way. It's a thin line, maybe, to walk... to have a positive attitude and outlook that things will work out, without having TOO large an idea of what you want. Redefining what will be "ok" and allow you to classify it as "working out" is important. We all know we don't get exactly what and all we want.
Try to look at the situation objectively. (I know, it isn't easy.)
What is the best you can do? What is the most you can expect, honestly, from yourself in this?
What will you be able to accept as enough from them? What would be ideal and what can you live with? You might need to draw a line in the sand, but often it isn't where we really want it!
Any help?
