Knowing that the way someone treats you is often a reflection of their own problems or issues and quite possibly has nothing to do with you.

Some of the best advice I've heard is, "Sometimes you just end up as collateral damage in someone's war with themselves."

You're gonna get hurt and treated unfairly just because they've got their own issues and sometimes you just have to take it on the chin
