Exiting the Bad Guy Role: Impact & Perspective

If you've been in this stage where you're still in the bad guy roll, you're arguing all the time, you're yelling at them all the time, you're telling them you're running your life, you're in my life, you're a terrible parent, all this stuff. And then you say, that's it, I'm out of here. Here's what they're gonna think. Thank gosh, that's what they're gonna think, because they're gonna still be in that mindset of seeing you as the bad guy. And when you exit the situation, they're even gonna feel sorry for themselves. They're gonna blame you. You're gonna be in the bad guy roll eternally, from now until forever. They're gonna tell everyone else how you just gave up on them and you're just crit the things. So if you're going to exit and if you're going to really say, I'm done, this is it. Like, I'm really out, then if you've built that credit, it's going to go a lot better. And even if you choose to stay out of that relationship, you've still left that person on better footing because that person knows that it was the addictive behavior, that it wasn't you. So let's say if this is like a marriage and you decide to stay out, the chances that that person will turn around are better because they're going to realize that it's reasonable.
