I remember some of your posts to the newbies. Thanks for guiding them and for sharing your outlook here.

Unfortunately many WAS don't look enough inward (which is also ironic as they are so self focused!!) to see their contribution to the situation. Without that learning, they do what they did before, expecting a better result.

I am glad that you have a full and fulfilling life and that you now have the ability to observe such disfunction and see it. I too see much more than I ever did before when I observe people interacting. Not just couples.

Best wishes
