I'm willing to not have them in my life because if I don't love them, then I don't have them in my life. So that means that you're also needing a child to be ready for abject loss at a young age, which they may or may not be ready for. And because who is going to fill that space? What's also true is that sometimes the hope of a parent changing doesn't go away.

And so when you see that your mother or father has engaged in something like this. You hope that once they see what they've done and it's been made clear that they're going to apologize, they're going to say something to you that helps affirm for you that they really feel bad, and then you can move on and have a relationship.

And I think the hope of that for a lot of people doesn't ever go away, and it keeps them linked to this other person in the hope that they get it. So there are a lot of reasons why people will stay connected. What I think helps people is when they develop a sense, I think, of real courage, it often comes from a sense of confidence. I feel able to be in the world without this person.

In fact, I'm going to be more able now without this person. This person... may have loved me in her or his own way. But it was that their love turned out to be a poison to me. So I can't accept it. And I can't have them in my life.

But I can still maybe appreciate the time that they made me lunch and appreciate the time that they did whatever they did for me, because I don't want to throw it all away. So I can hold on to parts, like people also who leave cults. I had a whole community there, or I learned this skill, or I had a relationship with God, or whatever you felt. And I don't want to have to throw that away.

And you don't. You don't have to throw it away. You can hold on to those pieces while still keeping yourself distant and safe from the person and their disorder. And if you can also see that you can really detest the disorder, and you don't have to detest the person, so that you don't have to ask...

of them to be these hateful people in order to, in order to break free, that it can be both and that they can love this person, but really know that they need to keep themselves very far away from the disorder. But that person is wrapped up in their disorder so that they really physically.

And I think just in terms of being able to be accessible, even by phone, they have to keep themselves separate. But that they don't have to be they don't have to feel hatred for their parent almost to give them that allowance. that they can have complicated feelings at the same time. And that would be expected.
