well done kris
the "why"s and "what for"s serve no purpose to us.
blame is of no consequence - no matter where we want it to lay.
"Responsibility" is the answer. we need not be concerned with giving or taking blame.
all of the responsibility to do something about the problem lands squarely at our feet, though. so we can simply take responsibility and act. whatever it takes.
happy days! and welcome home Kris! (hope i'm making sense today)
