I’d found my techniques for nipping those thoughts in the bud as soon as they started and avoiding unmeasurable amounts of stress, I was managing situations in a zen way, it was life changing.
I’ve recently put myself back into a situation that id managed to get out of (why do we do that ?) my life is complicated but id found peace and it’s true acceptance is the key to being able to cope.
But
I don’t seem to be able to accept these people (my boyfriends parents) they are toxic, angry, controlling people and I’ve gone back to work for them, l want to help him run the family business when they retire. They control my boyfriends every waking moment, they control his finances everything, they’ve kept him on a minimum pay for years so he doesn’t have a penny to his name.
He has adhd, I’ve also introduced him to the power of now and his life too has changed, he never had silence in his mind it was like 10 radios playing all at once, well he’s found peace listening to ET. He’s taking his life in hand but his parents don’t believe he can manage his own life. He’s the one that’s made their business work and they’ve taken all the rewards and kept him small. It breaks my heart because he’s the nicest guy you could ever meet. He let them spread fear in him and not let him believe he could have a normal life. Telling him his story every time he steps out of their control. I would like advice on handling these people.
Thank you in advance.
