Dr. Ramani has taught me that “hoping someone will change is what keeps you trapped in a relationship with someone who is emotionally immature or worse, emotionally abusive.” This has nothing to do with you. This person is not changing. You are the one who needs to change. And that’s where the Let Them Theory is life-altering. Let Them. Anytime an adult acts like an eight-year-old child, Let Them. This strategy is going to change your life. 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.
