Often very true — sadly…

Friendship, of course, could include (with much gentleness, fear and trepidation) the risk of sitting down and speaking into that person’s dysfunction and damage with the clear message that he or she needs help — therapy could be part of such.

More often then not though, comments about such are just used as a weapon.

The spirit and the degree of relational investment/compassion from the source does play a critical role here…

Some days that works better than others.

Question, though Cal re this “In bad relationships, it’s, ‘You’re defective, and you need therapy.'”

Does those sorts of comments ^^ also define a bad friendship?
