Estrangement in Unhealthy Relationships
Being aware of the efforts put into a relationship is crucial to avoid premature feelings of giving up. Reflecting on the attempts made to mend unhealthy relationships and setting boundaries can help in making a conscious decision to step away when necessary. Understanding the repetitiveness of patterns and acknowledging the unwillingness to tolerate dysfunction plays a significant role. Grounding oneself in the awareness of the efforts made makes it challenging for others to guilt, second-guess, or engage in futile arguments. It is important to prioritize self-awareness and respect personal boundaries when faced with unhealthy relationships, even in the presence of external pressures and drama from family members.
