[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I"m on this board because I am really trying to understand. I am a family member who has been warning my cousin for 2 decades. I am really trying to understand why on earth you would be so dismissive.

also, my relationship is quite strong so I am trying to offer other perspectives

also, it is a shame that noone warned you. that is on them as well. Maybe they did and you weren't ready to hear it?[/quote]

DP. Something tells me you often offer unsolicited advice and/or just generally lack compassion with your family. You can deliver your opinion without being nasty.

I avoided a FTL husband and am damn proud of it. I do think I was super thoughtful about my husband's traits and made sure I got someone as driven and ambitious as I am. But I also underestimated some issues in him, as I'm sure he feels he underestimated some issues in me. And I've had friendships fail because I wasn't honest with myself about who I was/who they were, etc.

I'm humble enough to know I'm not perfect. I'm personally here to learn.[/quote]

Of course I don't deliver my unsolicited (yet caring) advice in a nasty tone. what you hear is just exasperation because their lives are pretty much falling apart. Tone policing ain't going to work when your kids are left to their own devices and the home is sold in auction[/quote]
