Quote:But what do you expect Jess? Don't be so hard on yourself. You are who you are because of a million different influences that range from your parents to your friends to your school to the city you live in to the books you read to the faith that you've been taught.
Quote:Im thinking it would be kinder and more compassionate - to rephrase and replace: I realize now I don't like who I was with something like: I can now see that my old ways of thinking and responding were not helpful to me, my actions and words in the present and now are yielding more benefits

Quote:There were times I wished that I had never met my wife. I was angry and resentful of what she had become and what she had done to me. I felt abandoned, neglected and wanted the envisioned peace that was my fantasy.
