Sublime wisdom Yahia. You have written the chaos in my mind about this important subject. Pain comes from distancing from complainers when there are family ties. My father gave me a wonderful metaphor: Tune out when you hear the complaining tone. You can be like a hippo resting on the riverbed, letting the stream rush past you swiftly. Pay no attention. But listen for that other sweeter tone always. The tone that wants atonement. For that you must be instantly present.

The Toxicity of Complaining—For complainers & those who endure them
You and your father sound wise & poetic. After exhausting every possibility, I’ve had to distance myself from near and dear complainers, too, for sanity’s sake. (So, I understand your pain.) But, when I see them making an effort, I tune in, too. Thank you, for your spiritual and lyrical response to my post — it means a lot to me to receive it. Stay blessed 🙏🏼
