Do you have people in your life that you constantly stifle reacting to them out of love for them?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, my aunt. She is my last older relative left alive and was really good to me when I was a kid. She lives alone and, unfortunately, has aged into an opinionated, judgmental, busy body (with slight overtones of religious superiority and a hint of racism). She also only calls me when she needs help with something. I bite my tongue a lot. She has also annoyed my wife and daughter to the point where they are all done with her. I’m okay with it because of our history and, frankly, she won’t be alive for too much longer.
