For you it might be a parent that gets angry, storms out of the room, and refuses to talk to anybody for several days or a weekend. Or, in the case of one of my best friends, her mother suddenly stopped talking to her for a month. And then one day she would come down the stairs in the morning, and it was as if nothing had ever happened. Or maybe for you, it’s a father with a narcissistic personality style, or a sister who always plays the victim, or an ex who is constantly blowing up your phone with text messages and then apologizing. Dr. Ramani will tell you: They aren’t changing.
