That is spot on. When I tried to encourage my ex and help him through difficult issues the conversation ultimately turned to how I caused his misfortune and how I needed to improve in order for it to stop. It wasn't merely negative thinking. Job loss, money issues, even him losing a bid out on a house we're all my fault.
