Never give up . . . beloved mantra of do-gooders everywhere, all across society, containing elements of discipline, self-immolation, want & need and a host of damaging life performances. Muster the courage to call a halt to abuse. Even better, diligently learn to recognize it.
When another person -- relative (especially and including mates or children), friend, acquaintance or stranger -- continues to cause pain or dish unpleasantness, simply cut all of it away from the fabric of your existence. Arguments are futile. Attacking you likely provides pleasurable payback to them, obviously undermining any meaningful negotiation. Understand that exiting a hostile environment is life-saving, nourishing . . . frequently ensuring actual survival.
Ascertain whether another person derives pleasure or satisfaction from your discomfort, and if the answer to this is affirmative, get out. Let go. Freefall into independence, serenity. Abuse requires a perpetrator AND a target who in the absence of self-protective, rational thought, continues 'holding on' grimly.
