The intersection between mainstream and deviant ;)

I think most of us can related to taking on the role of ‘relationship therapist’ for one side of a couple. I’m trying to remind myself that “success” means teaching the person to be aware of their own behaviors and motives and to try to communicate better - not that the relationship in question lasts indefinitely.  Sadly, when we take on the role of friend, confidante, and therapist and the relationship in question ends, people it fuels the “what society thinks we do” box. Guh.
