The Truth About Blame

BY STACEY MARTINO

Take a moment and think of someone you are or were in a relationship with who“ wronged you” or disappointed you. One way or another, you probably want that fixed. You probably wish that never happened, but that doesn’ t change the fact that it did happen, and it left you with a negative outcome.

So, what are your options? If it stays as-is for a long time, how are you going to feel about that?

It’ s common, in this case, to think, I want them to make it right, so that I can be happy, at peace or feel better about this. Do you resonate with a thought or feeling like that? If so, where does that leave you? Has it been resolved while you have been thinking that way? Why not?
