How to draw the best out of what appears to be a lost chance can be difficult to see.

But if we take a new look at a relationship and see it through fresh eyes our personal world might turn in a whole new direction.

Brooke, this is wonderful. Such an incredibly complex topic. I was a little nervous at first. Not yet two years ago I had to face a marriage that I desparately wanted, but was unhealthy and choose to separate myself from it. It was agonizing. And still there is justification on my part, and resentment – that’s why I was feeling uncomfortable. And I was afraid you were going to say that relationships can always work. And that would suggest I had failed. Actually, I did fail, I failed to see myself and the person that I was marrying accurately. I wasn’t marrying him. I was marrying my creation of him. I’ve not yet forgiven him for not being who I created in my mind. Ah, Elizabeth dear. Always, there is more work to do. But, I needn’t have worried as I listened. You spoke of the complexities of relationship so clearly. Very, very well done.
