Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep waiting for someone else to fix my situation or change so things get better
• I keep waiting for them to change so I can finally feel okay, and it never comes
• I keep waiting for them to apologize, to suffer, to somehow earn my forgiveness before I’ll give it
• I keep saying I want things to "get better" or to "do better," but it’s so fuzzy I can’t even tell what moving toward it would look like
• I’ve been killing myself trying to fix this, and it’s slowly dawning on me that the lever isn’t even in my hands
