About this episode
The episode discusses the dynamics of blame and criticism in relationships, emphasizing that such behaviors are not the victim's fault.
Someone who constantly blames and criticizes you may have something to hide. Someone who hurts you is hiding nothing at all... it's all very apparent. Don't ever think their behaviors are your fault.
