Sometimes, distance is the only answer to disrespect. You don't owe anyone a reaction, an explanation, or a fight. When people show you they can't value your presence, the most powerful thing you can do is take it away. Don't argue. Don't try to change their mind. Don't get caught up in drama that drains your energy. Just step back. Protect your peace. Let your silence and your absence remind them what it feels like to lose access to you.
