That was a really brilliant article! As for we get so hooked into our family dramas.

I’ve recently had a lot of trouble being around family members because I’ve changed in big and positive ways. While I know I am judging them, it doesn’t seem that they have changed at all.

I do not try to change them, instead I let them be who they are. However that is no good for me because I don’t like being around the people they are. I tire of hearing the same things over and over, knowing that no change is bringing them the results they want.

So it represses me and I don’t feel like being around them and know I am not being authentic. So I decided I will take baby steps and be myself authentically in little ways and see what happens.
