People who say "it's just how I am" are really saying "...and I have no intention of changing even if it harms those around me." It's an excuse not to compromise at all, with anyone else.
Exactly!
I can't figure out why people don't deal with their own reactions either. It's like this friend was saying, I understand and support you doing what you have to do (like I have done something 'wrong') but I just want you to know your sister really loves you and was very concerned for you and your parents.
As if her concerns were equal to or greater than mine and I have to factor them into my healing. No way. Grrr.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your thoughts.
