How to gentle parent an asshole?
My brother's girlfriend (27) sucks but he's got mommy issues so I gotta be nice to her or I'll won't see him as often cause she'll avoid me and he's her slave. I have to be nice to her but she says horrible things and I feel like it's disrespectful to my values to ignore. Whether it's bullying her mom into drunk driving to get her ice cream at 1am or calling girls sl*ts and wh*res because she's insecure about her body. (not an assumption, she said she was insecure before insulting these women for an hour) I am disappointed I just stayed silent and didn't react at all when this happened last time but I've never stood up for my beliefs before. I don't like that about myself and I want to change and this is a good opportunity to practice.
How do I casually and calmly correct someone without making them hate me? It's mostly for myself and the people around us because I don't think she'll ever change.
Staying quiet once doesn’t make you fake. Sometimes you freeze or don’t react because it’s not worth the drama. But if ignoring it clearly isn’t sitting right with you, that’s your sign you know it was wrong and you don’t wanna keep letting that bs slide. You don’t gotta argue with her or try to change her, but you can call it out whe...... reply
