Responsibility

Responsibility begins with the willingness to communicate, to tell the story, to relate an incident, from cause, from how you caused it.

Responsibility does not imply blame or fault, those are legal terms and have absolutely nothing to do with responsibility.

Examples:

Blame statement: He won't answer my questions.
Responsible statement: I don't know how to have him to answer my questions.

Blame statement: She won't do her homework.
Responsible statement: I don't know how to have her to do her homework.

Blame statement: He always lies to me.
Responsible statement: I don't know how to create a safe space for him to tell me the truth.

Blame statement: My son won't talk with me.
Responsible statement: I've driven my son out of my life.
