The D is not an inherent consequence of the mistakes. It was how she chose to react to them. You are excusing her from any responsibility for this sitch.

You do understand that people who get into an A, usually do so because they didn't get some emotional need met at home, right?


Blame the victim?

In her mind she didn't have a choice. She didn't think you were going to change so she did it on her own.


You're mindreading. And mindreading somebody you don't even know.

Because she knew how you were going to act.


Mindreading and assuming. You don't know her or me.

Again, because she knew how you were going to act.


See above.

Quote:
YOu did say that your family friend caused a scene with her right? She's scared and trying to protect herself.


Like I've said, you haven't read my posts. It was not a family friend. It was somebody my father (and occasionally myself in the distant past) had a business relationship with.

Again, because she doesn't want to deal with you and potentially your outbursts. That's just the way it is. You can't argue with what and how she wants to feel.


Mindreading.

Mr. Bond, I don't find your posts to be very helpful. To be frank, I find you abrasive, arrogant, hypocritical, and I think you're too in love with the idea of yourself as some sort of "tough love" guru swinging his clue-by-four around, dispensing wisdom from on high. You don't know my sitch and you don't know me as well as you would like to think you do.
