    'The only time we feel totally free, is when we stop looking for "reasons" for their behavior, admit to ourselves that we aren't going to improve them, or get them to see what they are doing to cause this misery, and we focus on ourselves, our children, and the life we can build for ourselves

He discovered it was easier to ...
