Okay, we all know these people. It’s all about them, what happening – which is usually a crisis – how they are feeling etc, the list can go on and on. Why do you listen? Why do you allow these people to involve you in their drama’s and sometimes even expect you to fix it for them? Isn’t it time to allow these people to get on with their own lives and fix their own problems?

If right now you’re cringing at the thought of telling them no or saying oh but it’s family. Then I’d like to direct you to one of my posts on co-dependency. That may seem harsh but it may just save your sanity. Please allow these people the dignity to be adults and that means they must take responsibility for their own dramas from now on.

If this isn’t a family member cut off contact with this person or at the very least reduce your time with them, you this to yourself.
