Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every time this conflict flares my mind races to how they’re at fault, and I keep noticing I never once turn the question around to my own expectations and reactions
• I keep replaying this fight as a list of everything they did wrong, and as long as it’s all their fault we just stay stuck
• The whole thing has become a tug-of-war over whose fault it is
• When something goes wrong around me I automatically assume it’s my fault
• I keep waiting for them to change so I can finally feel okay, and it never comes
