You need to understand there is a difference between controlling emotions and suppressing them. When conversations turn toxic, you need to manage your emotions by taking a deep breath, pausing, and stepping away, if possible. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and whatever negates that should not be tolerated, no matter what. You need to focus on what you can control - your reactions. No, you can’t fix him, but you can work on yourself by taking small steps toward emotional freedom. It is important to prioritize self-care, set healthy boundaries, and consider seeking the help of a therapist.
