When you’re around your family, you don’t become your current self, you become the old version you had to be to survive that environment.

Old roles return because the dynamic is familiar, not because you’ve failed or regressed. Awareness helps you step back into who you are today, not the role you were once assigned.

We are all just doing the best we can

It works for us

We feel very grateful we can provide these things for our family

We are happy we can all be together today

We are working on it.

That’s helpful, thank you — we’ll keep that in mind.

That’s an interesting thought — speaking of, how’s your work/kids/etc.?

Let’s save that one for another day.

I know you mean well; I just don’t want to get into that today.

I think we’ll have to agree to see this differently. And that’s ok.

Choose one, repeat, save your energy.

Some people leave you tired.

If you keep replaying, what you said, chances are, it’s unfinished communication.

People in control means being forceful. But it can also mean:
being careful
over accommodating
anticipating needs
avoiding conflict
self sacrificing

Loneliness starts when you stop saying what matters most. When you have to hide the true parts of yourself so that you can belong.
Sometimes healing isn’t about finding new people, it’s about remembering what parts of you you stopped to bring into the room. No amount of company can soothe the ache of not being understood.

When someone pushes your buttons, you often want to match their energy or try to convince them otherwise, but in order to shift the power dynamic, you have to meet them with regulation over reaction.
