I don’t know when the hate moved in. Maybe it was always there, waiting. Maybe we invited it, one careless word at a time.

Borrowed from advice for dealing with narcissists: become as uninteresting as a grey rock. Give one-word answers. Do not react to provocations. Do not share personal feelings. Your goal is not reconciliation but neutrality. Starve their access to your emotional reactions. layarxxipwsharingthesameroomwiththehate
