Falls into the line of thinking, I have, is the diagnosis as important as how we interact with one another? MI can be used in ways that are both blaming and excuse making. Each person in whatever type of relationship they are in, is accountable for their own actions and behaviors. Resentment, is one angle, I've seen breeded through the blame game. It's unfortunate that not everyone can hold themselves accountable for their fair share of whatever type of relationship, it may be. Thanks for this thread.
