Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Funny, this has been on my mind the past few days. I agree with all of this, even contemplating something off color fills me with revulsion. I have a situation that I think is going to come to a head shortly and I would love some advice on how I might handle it. My best friend's mother is an immoral person. She abuses my friend and her son. She is dishonest, a thief, caustic, cruel and her energy puts me through the floor when I'm near her. It is much worse since the K. She has made some comments recently that she feels I don't like her, which I have deflected due to there being a lot of people around, but at some point I am going to have to speak to her. I know that we are not obligated to keep people in our lives that are abusive or dishonest, but how do I address this without being cruel? I don't want to make things more difficult for my friend than they already are.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Explain to your friend the situation privately. Explain that it would be best for you to keep a distance from her mother. Be as gentle and considerate as you can when explaining this but also be firm in your resolve. Help your friend to understand it isnt about them but merely about their mother. Then keep your distance. Also you may wish to consider how much of anothers energy you are allowing into your space. How is it that you are giving permission for another person to drain your energy or to usurp the senority over your happiness by their unhappiness. How are you or are you not keeping your own personal space secure against the onsluaght of society? This is the downward ramification of being an empath. Matching the depressive energies around us by virtue of empathy. Not saying you are an empath dear Sarita just making that observation. There are always going to be people in a different kind of psychological dynamic. Many depressed people often lash out at others for no reason other than spreading their disaffection outward to others. So we must stand firm in our commitment to our own happiness regardless of what is thrust out at us from others. Easier said than done at times but an essential practice rather than having your happiness held hostage to whoever is angry and depressed in your midst. Our happiness belongs to us and it is our responsibility to nurture and keep it vibrant and healthy no matter the outside social environment. Once again I know this isnt the easiest task at times and your seclusion from this person can be seen as doing just that. But we cannot shut out all who are not pleasing or agreeable to us. Its a diverse society and we can be happy no matter what is thrown in front of us if we make that a priority. Just my thoughts on it. - blessings and peace dear Sarita! - chrism , " Sarita " <sarita1969 wrote: Funny, this has been on my mind the past few days.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Chrism I should have clarified that my friend does know of my feelings already. She feels the same way but is torn because she doesn't want to deny her son a grandmother. She has a tough situation there. I think my energy is affected because it bothers me to see how her mother abuses her and her 9 year old. I avoid her as much as possible, but there will come a time she asks me directly why I don't like her or invite her to social functions any more and I'm not sure how to handle that one. In the past I would have just denied it, but that doesn't feel appropriate any more. Sarita , "chrism" <> wrote:>> Explain to your friend the situation privately.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ahh yes I see. Well I will suggest that honesty about her behavior isnt something she has perhaps had much of. Perhaps a dose of honesty would be beneficial for her. Help her in some way see how her behavior effects others. This is a loving attitude in the way of being honest and truthful. - c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
