@kooklandlover I like to see things as "problem vs. people" as opposed to "person vs. person" and if people get the wrong ideas and refuse to look at things my way, then I do not pursue the relationship. I will let it be, happy that I am even a small part of their lives, and I will move on. I won't consider it as a loss, just a lesson. However, if I know what I did was for them, to align with their interests, even if they are hurt in the process, I will step away, in the shadows, always there for them when they need me. I will stop actively seeking them, but I will always be there. Even if they don't want to acknowledge it.
