It's much easier to blame others than it is to accept we are sometimes the cause of your own problems. If the same situation keeps occurring look at what you can do differently. There is always room for change, and that may just be the answer to your problem. Change what you are doing, how you are reacting or how you are allowing others to treat you. Mindful Wishes
~~

"One of the greatest challenges in creating a joyful, peaceful and abundant life is taking responsibility for what you do and how you do it. As long as you can blame someone else, be angry with someone else, point the finger at someone else, you are not taking responsibility for your life." ~ Iyanla Vanzant

Not easy to break such patterns, or to recognise them in the first place...but the point is well made.

I accept responsibility for my mistakes. However it is much harder when other parties do not accept that their behaviour was as equally wrong and do not realise they are contributing to a problem or cause problems themselves.

I'm afraid you've missed the point entirely.

Oh I have understood it very well. I know I have to decide whether to put up or shut up or leave altogether. I am just saddened that so many disortions, misunderstandings and on my part my failings to handle things properly has led to a very unhappy situation.

But friendship is also about trying to overcome problems and sorting things out. And by doing that is by taking responsibility. That is what I have tried to do. Sounds things out. Take responsibility. If I had a friend who was in trouble I would also support them. Do whatever I could to help....
