Yes, you make a good point. I had a session today about this and the counselor brought up some good points as well. She said there are a group of people that fall under the category of 'angry caretakers' and if there is one shred of anything that threatens their (falsely) virtuous identity they have to attack and defend. Also that two viewpoints are never considered, but two must abide by their one view, and that they will never in a million years be able to see or admit it. Knowing that, why would I want to play? Easy, I wouldn't. And the less time I spend thinking about what I might have done wrong, and spend it instead bringing in people who would make good friends, the better. She also said at this point in her life she doesn't have friends if they can't offer some consistency, and that it is not too much to ask for.
Thanks, o.p.
