One thing I always need to remember is that I don't have to like something to accept it. Keep fighting the good fight! David Kenneth,

I’m sorry to learn about your relationship, yet applaud you for taking the time to get clear. One thing I always need to remember is that I don’t have to like something to accept it.

Keep fighting the good fight!

I have been trying to learn how to respond to my spouse who is the emotional vampire in my life. Unfortunately things came to a head and we have been separated for two years now with no reconciliation in sight. I have only this year really begun to see this in the true light of reality and at the same time try to be responsible for my own reactions that fueled it or invited said behavior. I believe the more I learn appropriate responses and proper boundaries the less life I will allow to be sucked out of me. Thanks, Kenneth David, thank you for the posting on emotional vampires.
