That's very interesting, Sarah. It makes me wonder what games I'm playing.
I think I have that book. I'm not sure. Who's the author?
Thanks for sharing that story.

You're welcome. The games described in the book are a bit hard to understand at first, (maybe game players tend to be somewhat resistant to instant understanding due to our unique thought processes) So I had to read a bunch of them over several times to get the gist of why games are played and how they benefit the player.

The payoff though is generally the verification of what one thinks of themselves, OK or Not OK. and of other people, are they, OK or Not OK. I think now as an afterthought here, with bringing up what other people are, isthe second part to my Game was confirming to myself that my spouse was Not OK because it put him in the same place as my mother who had acquired the same title when I was a wee child.
