She brought nothing to the table for negotiation
One of the old women in my neighborhood asked me to help untangle a mess of complications. I tried twice, but was told by her enemy to back away as the matter was beyond my capabilities. What was required was for the woman to discuss, negotiate and communicate to the third party. The requester refused to accept no for my answer, and proceeded to harass me with all sorts of abuse. She had no intention of resolving her problem.
The woman brought nothing to the table for negotiation,

That woman loves her family and her people. She has resources but being from the old school, she prefers to bank out using connections, and outsiders living nearby. She loves her fam so much she uses unwilling others to stand in for punishment. She asked, “What’s wrong to frame a woman to become the whipping girl for my son?” Everything is wrong with that.
It is that intrinsic, innate, negative trait in her. Thanks for reading.
Sometimes, the only option is to turn and walk away.
Yes, but that woman refuses to release.
