"To me, it boils down to accountibility for our behavior.....and it is about expected behavior on the boards and their consequences, it's not personal.... "
This is a wonderful statement - I have been told by my therapist, in dealing with situations that feel negative to me - that every person, no matter mentally ill or not, nned to be accountable for their behavior.
There are consequences as well as accountability. Unfortunately, we can't make people accountable, but we can issue consequences - whether that takes the form of stepping back and not involving yourself, or severing the relationship - I have found that has worked with several "crazy-makers" in my life.
There is less and less room in my life for unhealthy situations and things that trigger me. I don't need to go there and am less and less inclined to do so.
But I really liked your post. Thanks.
