Thanks for reaching out @rutheh, When you realise, and accept, that it's just an excuse, then they just don't bother you any more, because you know it's pointless trying to help them with reason, and if you do buy into their drama, they will keep using excuses, to get your attention (your real currency, as a sentient co-creator).
Peace.

Hey @bobaphet. I've been gone for a little while so missed the replay, but I still wanted to replay back- I totally agree with you, I was dealing with someone who I depended on and kept giving me excuses, but once I refused to buy into them anymore, things just sorted themselves out so that I'm not dependent on them anymore. So thanks for the useful advice!
