BP can be blamed for a lot of things, but for me it's not about the blame, it's about what to choose to do with the knowledge that certain behaviors can happen because you have BP. Do you need different medication? Better support system? To learn to take responsibility regardless of behavior?

I see far too many people today blaming without taking responsibility for their actions, regardless of the reasons behind the behavior? Just because we have BP does not make us helpless.
