Unhealed people cannot hear you with their heart, because they are living from their wounds. They are wired for condemnation rather than compassion. Survival rather than safety. They will always filter you through a distorted lens of suspicion and fear. You will always be perceived as a threat they need to defend and protect themselves against rather than a force of love that has the potential to heal them. Unfortunately many are so wired for war they cannot receive love even if it’s offered to them. Have compassion, but don’t take their reactions and hostility personally… sometimes patience is required and sometimes it might always be necessary to move away and love them from a distance.

I felt so much better reading this. I have experienced a number of unhealed people (some family among them), and it’s really quite a painful and confusing experience. Distance has been a kindness to self. Just sayin’ :/ Hugs and good luck. XO
