When another person dismisses us, we only have two options. Let it go or walk away.

Deal Breaker?

When we believe a person is at fault for selfish or abusive behavior and they are not willing to be accountable, we have an extremely important decision to make. We cannot force others to change their behavior nor make them act like responsible adults. We can get into these gray areas where we do not want to enable undesirable behavior but the infraction itself does not go beyond some threshold of ours.

We must ask ourselves; is this error on their part worth my removing them from my life? And if I must interact with them - like with a peer at work - should I reduce that communication to that which is absolutely necessary and nothing more? In the end, we can resolve all the conflict in our life.
