Yes dealing with pain can be taxing but I think it’s nothing on the energy drain that is dreading the pain.
It’s bad enough that you have to tolerate a terrible job or a manipulative relative or an awful environment but to let them live in your head rent free too?
Life’s too short for that!
If you don’t have to accept it, get away from that toxicity!
If you do have to accept it then there might be a better way of dealing with it/them.
Life’s too short to choose being miserable.
