This was the entire thing I said, not just the one sentence that was taken out of context. So can someone tell me why it seems I am trying to put anyone down here, that I am being uncivil? I thought I was being supportive. I don't understand what Dr. Bob is referring to.
But back to what rnny's T said, that she should try to form relationships with healthier people is actually good advice. I wouldn't want to marry anyone that unstable any more than I would want a close friend. There are some individuals that shouldn't mix with other individuals. Sometimes it is a pattern that needs to be broken. Kinda like abusive relationships, sometimes women will look for a mate that treats them bad because that is familiar to them because that is how they grew up. But getting the client to see that certain people just aren't the healthiest to develop friends with, is a good thing.
I teach my kids (who are teens now) to treat everyone with respect. But do I want them to hang out and be friends with drug dealers and criminals just to appreciate the good in everyone? Of course not! They are too impressionable at that age. So are newly mentally healthy people in a way. They need to learn who is healthy for them and who isn't.Some may feel offended by rnny's T comments, but I feel he gave her good advice in order for her to stay healthier herself.
