IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU... OR IS IT?
You can let your loved one know that their drama is a huge burden for you - not by criticising them for what THEY are doing, but by making YOUR FEELINGS known.
Instead of saying
'You always make such drama about this and that'
you can say
'I understand you're going through hard times, and I'm so sorry. You know, it makes me feel sad/angry/frustrated, too. I experience this challenge, just as you do. But I also have other things in life - my work, my health, my friendships, money, that I want to make work out, and I want to make them work out togeher with you. And when you are unable to deal with your challenges by taking action, it affects my ability to deal with my life. But I don't have the power to make you take action to solve your problems. YOU are the only one who can find that power. We can help each other. Let's take a step forward together. It can be just as big as you can manage today. That's ok. The important thing is that we keep trying.' 1 reply
