Say, You have confronted this person, given this person more chances then you should have, but they say they want to change but keep on being the same way. You have accepted that they will never change, they are just mentally ill and there is nothing you can do.. But the emotional scars this person left was at such a young age that you have grown as habit to believe and accept as truth. And no matter what you do this pain still persists and ppl all around turn into this parent and patronize you (in personality and actions)not literally, duh.
How do you get over this even when you understand the entire thing?
Please no religious oriented answers.

ya i understand tat but i was never in tat situation before...its really an irritating one...
if i am employed and if i can manage the family with out this person then i would not step back to send tat person to an old age home...
else i see no other options then to change his behaviour..
maybe i'm not good to ans this but at this moment i think this way..may be my decision changes later with time or experience..understanding other person is very difficult..even if its ur own parent or any other person..
