The feeling of responsibility for other people's moods runs deep within me. I have become aware of this sense of responsiblity, and have to wrestle with it daily, especially where my W is concerned. She can be downright rude to me, but it's usually not because of me. It's usually because of something going on within her.

Once again, knowledge is power here. I know that I have this tendency to take responsiblity. I know I have to look at a situation as objectively as I can, in order to determine whether I am truly responsible for it, or just taking the blame because that's part of my personality.
