The C word
I’ve been traveling a lot the past few months. I’ve seen old friends and made new ones. I met up with a friend, Claire, who visited me a few years ago. She had remembered, but I had forgotten, that we … Continue reading
Scapegoat in the Family

codependency in cohousing?
I was talking to someone who has lived in cohousing for over 20 years. I asked what do you do about the people with troubling behavior. People who seem to have something like a personality disorder. I’m not saying it’s … Continue reading
