what I mean is, not outright abusive, violent, alcoholic fuckwits, but a sort of general low-level, disregarding boundaries, complete lack of respect, narssistic-traits type stuff.......But not quite 'bad' enough to just say "right you've crossed the line there, I'm going NC!"
Does anyone have an opinion or experience difficult people and how much contact with them do you think is ok? What I mean is, would the fact that they had loving, consistent and emotionally responsive/healthy parents be enough to 'off set' a once every 3 months for a few hours visit?
I know my first response would be "why have any contact at all?!"
But I'm talking about people who are difficult but not outright, obviously abusive if you see what I mean? And I guess most people have some good qualities and life is messy sometimes and not always black and white.
Just very interested to hear people's thoughts.
Thank you :)
