Yes, I completely understand. It is frankly a lot of work on your part and sometimes it's just too much, especially when you're not sure you're going to get what you need to heal the situation.
I highly recommend these two books to you if you haven't read them. I think if you ever find yourself heading in a direction like this again, I believe they could help you, even more likely to help others around you.
- "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" by Marshall Rosenberg.
- "Conflict Is Not Abuse" by Sarah Shulman
I hope you will find some peace one way or another and soon. Take care on your way.
