Give Me a Reason..Please

Please give me a reason a client once pleaded ....my marriage is all messed up because of what my wife has done. I have been hurt so much ..it's all her...so give me a reason to come to counseling. He and his wife were in my counseling office I said....not an attorney's office and that was a start. That was enough for this man to come weekly and work on his marriage to his wife of many years during which he realized of course it was not "all on her".

I wonder how many people who are hurting don't pick up the
phone or take advantage of on-line counseling by blaming
their pain on others. By not taking responsibility for at least
part of their problems in life they can mask the pain with
anger and blame. But when the mask melts away then what?
They are alone with their mistakes, baggage and perhaps a
refusal to learn from past experience that keeps jumping up
to bite them in the butt because they won't acknowledge it.
If one doesn't look at and take responsibility for the way they
got to where they are...their destiny can only be a
continuation of their ill fated journey?
