"Refuse to let yourself misunderstand or be misunderstood," Science of Mind.
Perhaps this has to do again with getting respite care for yourself, even if the person for whom you are providing care opposes it. My only intention is to provide the best quality of life for Dwane and for myself, and I will not let his misinterpretation affect my decisions. I think this is a safe guidelines, as long as I know my intentions are pure.
I also think that is serves me to be less inluenced by his reaction. To paraphrase a Buddist ideal of the Middle Way: Be neither polarized by attachment nor aversion. I resolve to be unaffected/unattached to Dwane's reactions to what I believe best serves us both.
