How to deal: Give empathy where possible, but don’t tolerate abuse

“Everyone deserves the same amount of empathy and understanding. If we can just give the same kindness instead of shutting down, we can understand that it’s not personal, but that they do have their own work to do,” Licenses Marriage and Family Therapist Marissa Nelson told Madame Noire. “What you can do is love them the best that you can and try to understand where they’re coming from so that you don’t completely shut them out.”
