Quote: I'm a little ashamed to say it, but I try not to get too hopeful about P's changes being genuine. Every time I think she's finally "getting it", there's a major reversal to old behavior.
No need to feel ashamed about it, however it may be helpful for you to accept that you play a role in the cycle. No, I'm not saying you are responsible for her actions (emotional blow-ups etc) but you are responsible for the role you play in them. Do the actions/inactions you take feed the cycle or end it?
Sometimes the best way to elicit change in others is to make a change in ourselves...
oh no some one stop me I'm about to quote Michael Jackson...
I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways..
