Youre trying to help because you care.
Because they matter to you.
Because you want them to be happy and can see theyve been struggling.
Jayson Hinrichsen
When someone you love wont let you help them, it puts you at a crossroads.
Unfortunately, neither answer feels satisfying.
Neither path feels right.
Youre not in charge of making sure theyre happy or healthy or walking down the right path.
They can take care of themselves.
Even though you love them, you have zero control over their thoughts or opinions or behaviors.
You cant make them see reason.
You cant make them do whatever it is you believe is best for them.
Of course, letting go is the last thing you want.
Letting go feels like giving up.
It feels like youre abandoning this person who you swore you would always be there to help.
But if they dont want your help, you cant force them into it.
You cant change their mind.
Or maybe it’s crucial that you stick by them in case they have a change of heart.
But no matter what you decide, you have to remembertheiractions are notyourfault.
You are not to blame.
You are not responsible for them.
You are only responsible for yourself.
