Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing...
As an imperfect human, I have had my share of troubles in all aspects of life including relationships, business and on a personal level: I’ve made decisions and done things that have hurt other people and I haven’t always been the best partner, son, brother, friend or father.

This exploration is aimed at illuminating the subtle, often unseen patterns of my codependent behavior, particularly as they appear within the Drama Triangle – a framework for understanding social interactions and conflict.
