Neither side wants to take responsibility for a debacle. This isn’t about blame. What’s important is that everyone learns from the experience.
Don’t go with your first reaction. It may feel like the same old fight, but the other side is trying to change for the better.
You believe that life – even when it’s difficult – still imparts something wise. Today you glean a valuable lesson from the past few weeks.
Stop kicking yourself for having leapt before you looked. You were born under the sign of the mountain goat, not the nanny goat.
Go ahead and accept the olive branch – no matter how wispy. It’s still an apology of a sorts.
How do you talk to a loved one on the brink of a disastrous decision? The same way you wish someone would have spoken to you when you felt afraid and unsupported.
