After supper, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, `Scout, ready to read?' The Lord sent me more than I could bear, and I went to the front porch. Atticus followed me.
And narcissists find it almost impossible to accept any kind of responsibility for things that go wrong. Walter stood where he was, biting his lip. Jem and I gave up, and we were nearly to the Radley Place when Walter called, 'Hey, I'm comin'!'Sometimes, when a person does something they are not proud of or regret in some way, they project those feelings onto others. Jem seemed to have little fear of Boo Radley now that Walter and I walked beside him. Indeed, Jem grew boastful: 'I went all the way up to the house once,' he said to Walter . CATCHING Walter Cunningham in the schoolyard gave me some pleasure, but when I was rubbing his nose in the dirt Jem came by and told me to stop. 'You're bigger'n he is,' he said.' This may or may not be an accurate reflection of the situation. It doesn’t really matter; they see it is as being the case.
They cannot admit they are wrong because it would shatter the fragile view they hold of themselves as perfect beings. They blame you for not being the perfect person they wish you to be. The perfect person that they are. But that’s no reason to stop respecting them in return. That sort of tit-for-tat mindset only leads to greater conflict and ill-feeling.
While Walter piled food on his plate, he and Atticus talked together like two men, to the wonderment of Jem and me. Atticus was expounding upon farm problems when Walter interrupted to ask if there was any molasses in the house. Atticus summoned Calpurnia, who returned bearing the syrup pitcher. She stood waiting for Walter to help himself. Walter poured syrup on his vegetables and meat with a generous hand . He would probably have poured it into his milk glass had I not asked what the sam hill he was doing. Don’t pitch relationship coaching as a way to apportion blame – this implies that they are to blame for some of the problems you face. If your partner is having a hard time for whatever reason – stress over a new job, for example – they may need to get help. But they might not be able to make it happen by themselves.
Immediately compelling, All Her Fault explores every mother's worst nightmare and delivers deftly original twists." - Phoebe Morgan Naturally, there may be some things that are partly your responsibility. Some actions you took (or didn’t take), some words you spoke, some treatment of your spouse. It's against the law, all right,' said my father, 'and it's certainly bad, but when a man spends his relief cheques on green whisky his children have a way of crying from hunger pains. I don't know of any landowner around here who begrudges those children any game their father can hit.' When she squinted down at me the tiny lines around her eyes deepened. 'There's some folks who don't eat like us,' she whis¬pered fiercely, 'but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table-cloth you let him, you hear?'Some people may feel like they are taking on a lot of responsibility – more than their fair share in a relationship. She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia's gram¬mar became erratic. When in tranquillity, her grammar was as good as anybody's in Maycomb. Atticus said Calpurnia had more education than most coloured folks. They may be struggling with their emotions and with life in general, but they feel unable to ask for help. If your spouse is suffering from a mental health condition – especially if that is currently not being treated – it can lead to irritation, anger, and, ultimately, blame. Jem suddenly grinned at him. 'Come on home to dinner with us, Walter,' he said. 'We'd be glad to have you.'
