    Hey Coquette. First a HUGE thank you for all the answers through these years. This blog changed my life.

    Could you please clarify what you said in this post about the behavior of the reader’s father not being a matter of will? I know we are a product of our upbringing and the sum of our experiences, but at the end of the day we all have responsibility for our behavior and can consciously choose our actions. I can imagine you saying “it doesn’t matter because he will not change” and I agree with that. But why would you not acknowledge his responsibility for his actions? Am I missing something?

    Thank you for everything and much, much love.
