Some more time spent with people who push all of my buttons until they break, then install new, evil buttons so that they can continue their button-pushing ways. It reminds me of the rats-on-cocaine experiment; the one where a rat is give a dose of coke when it pushes a button. Once it learns this fact it pushes the button to get more blow so many times it breaks the button. The rat, alas, cannot install a new button, lacking opposable thumbs.
Sometimes - especially with family and friends - we can't flush a relationship. We can't just walk away, as attractive as that might be. We need to learn lessons of . . . well, I'm not far enough along in my emotional growth to have learned any lessons at all in these cases. I still react peevishly and then feel bad about myself later.
It's a thing that I do.
