Last Sunday during group, we had a discussion about what we can do when a relationship we have with friend or family member has become negative, even toxic for some os us. It was so powerful to hear some of the suggestions and responses that came out through the discussion. Many of us have been through or are currently experiencing negative relationships, but have chosen the path of MOST resistance when addressing them. What I mean by that is that you suggested to have honest, loving conversations with these people rather than feed into arguments or their comments that come from their stress. It would be easy for us to blame the negative person for damaging the relationship and ignoring them until things "turn around", but many of you said that you would handle it much differently.
But what if that person responds to your honesty and love with MORE negativity, hate, and anger? What do you do when that person pushes you back further than when you were just ignoring them?
