How do you not get upset when someone is making a bad choice?

Question

How do you not get upset when someone (a family member) is getting involved with a person that isn’t good for them? When red flags are present etc. ?
Before anyone jumps and tells me to mind my own business...I have expressed my concerns but they are very stubborn and naive per past history... I am just trying to understand how to not let it bother me. I clearly just don’t want them to get hurt as they have been in the past.

Answer

All you can do is tell them why you think it’s a bad idea. Share those issues with them. Then let it go. You can’t stop them from experiencing something themselves. And you shouldn’t keep bothering them about it unless they asked for your opinion again.

Answer

By minding your own business. And I don’t mean that in a mean way, but literally 🙂 
You talked to them and now you move on with your life. 
It is okay to try and talk to them but after that the topic is closed, what they decide to do is on them. 
You focus on yourself, your life. 
It sucks seeing someone you care about being hurt but sometimes there is nothing you can do, just let things happen and hope for the best. 
But my advice would be to focus on yourself for the future also that way you don’t really care what other people do as long as it is not affecting you.

Answer

I guess you have to let them make their own decisions & see that, getting hurt is sometimes necessary in life for someone to learn or grow. 
I make a lot of mistakes, myself. My poor friends 🙃

Answer

They will make their own choices...my sister is an addict and will prostitute herself for drugs.  She’s lost all 5 of her kids and still continues the cycle.  Our family hurts for her but at the end of the day...you have you realize you have no control over their choices

Answer

You did all you can do. I know it’s hard to watch but some people just have to learn the hard way. Just be there for them.
