Re: How do you deal with less open-minded family members?

(Anonymous) 2016-06-20 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
There are some things in this life which you cannot change and must simply accept as reality. I'm not saying that your mothers' attitudes are in that category, but it certainly seems as though your current approach is not going to change anything.

So at that point, you have a decision to make: can you find a balance where you don't feel the need to challenge her on anything, or is it just something that you feel strongly enough where dealing with your mother isn't worth it? That's the question. And I don't think either of those is a right or wrong answer. It's a decision only you can make. And there are ways to approach being around her without challenging her so much - refusing to engage, making more gentle criticisms, etc. But at the end of the day, I think it really does come down to a decision.
