At A Loss

[cedargrove]

What in the name of the gods do you do when someone you love consistently, and even sometimes seemingly deliberately persists in taking everything you say and do the wrong way just to avoid taking responsibility for their own feelings, their own mental health; their own holistic well being? I really cannot fathom this willful embracing, perpetuating and welcoming of misery at all, unless to say it is like a drug to which they are addicted. That they know nothing else, so it is a place of safety for them, even though it causes them nothing but pain.

This is what I have been dealing with (again) today. It exhausts me.
