Being caring of the BP/NP would mean allowing the BP/NP to be just who he or she is. It would include caring that the BP/NP is angry, hurt, fearful, and demanding without feeling responsible to “make” him or her feel better, without feeling that you “caused” the problem, and without thinking that you have to fix his or her feelings or do what the BP/NP wants. Being caring of the BP/NP would mean staying emotionally detached from his or her mental and emotional distortions.
