We’re All Allies
Too often we sabotage our own happiness, letting familiarity and dysfunction turn allies into perceived enemies. We inflate our contributions to a relationship and diminish the other party’s. We let familiarity and contempt best our shared history.
This is a mistake that’s a familiar one: failure to discern among allies, competitors, and enemies. Our spouses, parents, MILs, FILs, SILs, BILs, Republicans and Democrats, payers, providers, and pharma: all allies. We’re in this together; no need to be pushed around by others’ agendas up the food chain.
