“They were controlling because everything around and inside them was out of control. Always, the dam of their lives and the lives of those around them threaten to burst and spew harmful consequences on everyone and nobody but them seem to notice or care. I saw people who manipulated, because manipulation appeared to be the only way to get anything done. I worked with people who were indirect because the systems they lived in, seemed in capable of tolerating honesty. I worked with people who thought they were going crazy because they had believed so many lies that they didn’t know what reality was. I saw people who have gotten so absorbed in other peoples problems that they didn’t have time to identify or solve their own.”
