Lose the battles win the sanity. Don’t worry about having the last word or even the word before just let go of your fight stance as soon as possible. Say, what you’re going to say and let it drop like a mic it will stick a whole lot longer. There is no way to convince a loved one who is adding from their own calculus so at some point sooner than you like just go to step 101 and find a way to escape this painful reality. Losing the battles not only helps you stay sane but actually helps you to enjoy the other things around you a whole lot more.
FOOTNOTE- Just because you’re willing to give into a battle doesn’t mean one doesn’t state how they feel even if it’s to closed ears.
