I have a theory as to why. People have their own life experiences and tend to believe that is “the truth.” We do something a certain way and/or believe something a certain way and we tend to think that is the “way.” my oldest son did not talk to me for a year because he disagreed with my politics. He came to the conclusion that it was a mental health issue and asked if I would see a psychologist with him. I said “sure” (I would do anything for my kids). So I picked a psychologist and he decided to see her without me.
