It hurts when you want to be ...
To be there for someone and this person only fights you with every second word. There is tiring and missing the “good parts” then, but the overwhelming negativity simple hurts. This has nothing to do with being a victim, it’s about to be able to help and fail in the process.
I read a lot about this kind of situations and turning away and leaving, comes up as suggestion quite often. But I’ve other dependencies here, so this is a no go for me, to leave.
I bought a table-tennis table and hope it will have a positive impact on the movement of my kids, because they are quite hard to win over to do just that. I’ll see how it goes tomorrow when the surprise gets revealed.
The weather is forecasted to be dreadful the coming days, so it may help to raise the moods, because the lack of bright daylight, sunlight here in Southern Ireland is part of the issue, I think. I even go so far that this will, already is, the impact of the sped up climate changes.
One interesting point that’s also just crossed my mind, as I listened to a lot of podcasts recently from people from different locations, they mentioned more than once the strange, unusual weather in their areas. Their Podcasts have nothing at all to do with weather or climate change.
Remember T.O.C.I.L.I.C (… the only constant in life is change), we really should start to taking it serious I propose.
