"When these simple messages begin to be heard, the weeping starts to subside. Accusations become less topical. Self pity loses its footing. Shame is relegated to its proper place on the wasteland of guilt.

"An unmistakable calm comes over the conversation. The pace slows even as the tone takes on a palpable energy and excitement. Hope begins to take root.

"There is room for forgiveness. Even laughter. Options begin to be heard. Rationality returns. Problem-solving makes its way onto center stage. A helpless victim is breaking out of a self-imposed prison that has been in the making for many years. Real resources are being considered and accepted as gifts. Empowering choices are being made.

"Tears well up, again. But this time—with gratitude.”
