Ever heard of giving someone the benefit of the doubt? Practice this principle today. Someone in your family or group of friends is going through something intense, and your attitude toward them is starting to sour, big time. Communication is going to be either labored or entirely vicious, but you need to try hard to detach and let them be. Your best bet? Remove yourself from the situation. Let this person know you are giving them space instead of creating more angst. They'll come around when they're feeling better.
