My deepest condolences, this must be a very difficult time for your all. And sometimes its good to cry. *Hugs* I'm very protective of my relationships. My cousin Cody knows this fairly well, he's like a little brother to me, and he got into a relationship with this girl who was very controlling of him to the point where he was stressing out every day, she was causing issues with other close friends, yelling/cursing at him in front of friends and at school- and he was just Taking it. I wanted to smack her, though I couldnt do anything to her, she was 14. So after giving him some long talks, and me threatening to kick her out if I saw her at his house, he broke up with her. >.> He now has a nice girl that treats him with respect/kindness. If a person is screwing around with someone I care about and they talk me about it, I become directly involved - their concerns and worries become mine, at which point I draw my own conclusions about the person causing problems, then try to figure out solutions that might be helpful to my friend/lover. If the situation turns into a pile of BS, I want to keep myself and those I'm close to away from it. Sometimes I feel that the person causing the problems isn't worth the trouble and should just be dropped and cut off; and this can come out in a variety of ways. In most cases, I tend to be manipulative, and I can see and admit that. For example - I know Cody highly values my opinion, I love him as much as he loves me, he wants my "approval" for the girls he is with because he looks up to me. This girl he was with was horrible to him, so I simply told him that I did Not want her in my presence and if I saw her I would kick her out, because No one treats my cousin that way.. It was grounds for burning the relationship and I knew it - but I was careful about it. Her behavior was completely unacceptable, but He had to be the one to get rid of her. If the person I care about isn't taking care of a situation that is unhealthy to them, in any way, shape, or form - I tend to step in, whether its them being sick, stressed, or dealing with another individual, and I'll use whatever methods available to fix the situation for his/her benefit.
