Breaking Free of Co-Dependency
- I can tolerate your displeasure/anger/disappointment
- I will not personalize your displeasure/anger/frustration/shortness
- It is most respectful to allow you your feelings/beliefs (I won't try to change you)
- I am free of what you think
- What you think of me is none of my business
- I can bear your feelings because they are most likely not about me
- I can love and respect you while disagreeing or keeping some emotional distance
- I follow my own moral compass and that is good enough
