What to do when family is overwhelming
How do u cope with a family member and a dynamic in the family that is so entrenched everyone has a script you are part of that script but can no longer cope . But everyone in the family carries on with the script because they dont know how to change it and they want you to carry on as well, but it is detrimental to your well being. What do you do walk always
@lovingLychee115 hi there. Sorry you are in a stressful situation with your family. That sounds rough to deal with.
One thing I like to do is go through the self help guides because they are well done and give me comfort and ideas. Link Another is to seek an available listener, Link here
Another thing a friend tried was to keep reading from the play book but have their self control in place so they are not triggered by it. That is not easy I think, but they said it helps them because they cannot move out of their home, so they play by the playbook and read their parts and try to create as much space as possible whenever they can and get the time they need to maintain their own story.
All the best to you.
