Have you been in a conflict with someone you really care about? You want to be patient and understanding of where they're coming from. You also need to be heard and tell them what you're thinking. You’re upset. You're trying to control your emotions and not say things that will hurt. And then you get to this point where it feels like you've hit a wall. The other person is defensive, angry, arguing, and not really listening to you, so you just want to throw your hands up in the air and walk away. Sometimes you do that, and you feel terrible afterward because you really do love and care about this person, but you feel so hopeless and desperate. You just feel like they're not listening to you. 

This is Alisa Goodwin, Snell. Welcome to the Lasting Love Podcast, where we feature Real Life, Real People, and Real Love. This kind of situation is fairly common, and it's painful and scary. I want to help you solve how to get through to the other person, keep yourself in a good place, feel hopeful, and bring resolution.
