Any time you experience a negative, frustrating relationship that makes you feel deprived, you're probably caught in the triangle game. While there's nothing funny about the game, the word is apt, because these negative situations are strangely stereotypical and follow almost unchanging rules. Among the protagonists of your troubles, you'll find one of the following: Victim: Pure and innocent, passive and helpless, often complaining and sympathetic, but frequently erring and irritating. Butcher: Critical and mocking, hurtful and vicious, threatening and violent, and particularly suffering from excessive deprivation, trying to vent their anger on an undoubtedly innocent victim. Savior: Kind and generous, strong and influential, protective and adoptive, but above all, guilt-ridden. His catchphrase is: "Despite everything I've done for you!" Good news: There are solutions to this dilemma, which you'll discover when you open the book.
