17) No matter how much you care for someone, you can’t fight their battles against them-self, for them. I have made the huge mistake of trying to do this for someone who was close to me, and it backfired. My intentions were good, but it was an impossible scenario to win. I didn’t cause their problems, and therefore I shouldn’t have either attempted to control their problems or help them control their problems. Of course, that means there was also no way I could cure their problems. Because they are THEIR problems. The other hard lesson here was learning that their problems don’t reflect on me in any way at all. Because they are THEIR problems.
