People don’t change unless they choose to.
No amount of begging or shaming,
No amount of reasoning, emoting, or tough love will make it happen.
There’s only one thing that influences change: one’s own realization that they want/need to.
And there’s only one time when it will happen: when they’re ready.
In the meantime, don’t shame or blame them.
Live by the golden rule: treat them how you would want to be treated.
Boundaries are a huge player in this….
Model healthy love….
