There are going to be times where people that we love hurt us, intentionally or not. Hurtful words are said in the heat of the moment that can never be taken back. As hard as it is to say, never take them personally. Learn to see past the words and anger and see the wounded soul. By no means is this accepting their behavior, it is seeing past it. Don’t accept the behavior, set boundaries. You will continue to get what you continue to accept.
Value yourself to walk away while speaking your mind or expressing the behavior that you refuse to accept. They need to change their behavior and learn how to respond instead of reacting with hurtful words or actions.
Just as we would want to be forgiven, we also need to forgive, for us. This does not make what happened right. This creates space for us to move forward. Condemn the behavior not the person. Their behavior was learned, and it can be unlearned when there is enough drive behind it.
