Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Edrica Richardson recently spoke with ZNS News about conflict resolution.
Richardson is of the view that people must hold themselves accountable for their actions. She said, “I think one thing the people need to be reminded of is that its okay to walk away from a relationship if its not working for you. Also if the relationship if bringing out sides of you that are not your norm, if its making you more angry than normal. it’s making you more unhappy than normal, that we don’t have to stay passed the expiration date. We also need to remember that when we’re in a relationship we don’t own the other person, we’re in a relationship with them which means it’s a choice. And so at any point, if that changes, you have the choice to leave to make sure that you don’t put yourself in a violent situation or even a hazardous one so that you may be taken away from your family because so what you felt you were pushed to the brink to do.”
Richardson’s comments come after a women was alleged to have attempted to kill her partner by hitting him with a car.
