It's a pretty powerless and infuriating stance to take that others *should* do what you want them to do because you want them to do it. That's a recipe for no freedom in a relationship, and no wonder it's leaving you feeling unsatisfied.

How about trying on: she is making the best choices she can in her life, and so are you. If you can accept that, you're on your way to forgiveness, to generating freedom and therefore love, and to being powerful in relationships.

It may be hard, though, because *shoulds* don't want to die!
I agree very much. This is very much anger at myself. I've just let it eat away at me so much that it's destroying my life. I admit this is all in my power to change..I'm just having a hard time making the right choices to make my life better. I just feel stuck....
