As someone who has dealt with his fair share of manipulation, I’ve learned the best way to deal with it is to approach every situation with eyes wide open; focused and determined on what God is leading me to say or do. Be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves Matthew 10:16 - In other words, don’t allow yourself to be taken advantage of & don’t manipulate others. Be careful when dealing with such people, especially when they are within your own families. In all our relationships, trust is important. We should speak the truth in love and receive the same from others.
