She posed some difficult questions to herself: “So, okay, how would I like this to turn out? How did we get to this point? What happened, and what was my involvement in it? What part did I play in how we got to where we are? And what can I do about fixing my part?” She went on: “You have to honestly be willing to admit whatever the situation is and how you were a part of it. You know, it is not all one person’s fault.”
