There are some people who work at destroying relationships it seems. Someone tries to be nice to them, and at the slightest perceived slight, they bring up old hurts. In a conversation yesterday, the individual said "how are you", the response, very grumpily, meanly "Very bad, I'm talking to you". Given the call content, and given the welcoming behaviour of the other person on the phone, it was especially cruel. It makes it difficult to be the person who is the facilitator or go-between. Now, this was a call that was demanded to be done by my Dad, lol, can you imagine if the person had called out of the blue. Anyhow....though there are attempts at building relationships, the reality is there are key behaviours which will either block or damage. We can hope and work. Unlikely to happen.
