We push the limits of our most personal relationships, typically egged on by our relatives.
I define relatives as people who are part of our extended family, that we really don’t like! Why would we ever let people on the periphery of our most personal relationships orchestrate the dynamics of what’s really important? In-laws, you listening?
Funny how sometimes we strive for peace, even though we’d really like to strangle these toxic relatives! Relationships by proxy, just don’t work.
