A friend of mine whose mother just died wrote to another friend of mine.......
The friend who is grieving phoned me in Antigua, and we talked for about an hour and a half about family dynamics and such. The next day she wrote to our mutual friend,
"Marjorie is one of the few people in my life whom I trust, and who always tells the truth about situations. Her perspective is sometimes hard to hear, but always helpful, and always provides me with needed perspective".
Wow.
Too bad my friend Steve McCusker didn't feel the same way. His listening to his wife and following her "advice" led him to to bankruptcy and at least two court cases against him, including for defamation.
