The line and intervention
In retrospect after the last couple days and hearing what Quinn had to say I thought it might be interesting to round table the idea of intervention or what somebody might be able to do when they have a friend in trouble and where is the line crossed where you feel you have the right to intervene. I have to say I have no answer. I know more people in unhealthy relationships than healthy ones. My definition of healthy would be an interdependent relationship instead of a codependent one. Once a person is in that codependent relationship the psychological dumping starts then it can escalate into cruelty, verbal abuse and even physical abuse just to name a few. Of course if it does get physical those are the skeletons that stay in the closet for the most part. It has been my experience that people in these codependent relationships actually feel the need to be in them and cannot convert over into a healthy relationship without a lot of professional help and you being a friend certainly are not going to take them there. The last friend was actually a psychology major, imagine that. I find it very hard to be able to do anything.
