Repairing Relationships

Your absolutely right Dr. J.R. Bruns and R.A. Richards II. Most not all, but most people start a relationships showing someone they are definitely not. In the case of men, they show women what women want to see and tell them what they want to hear. All the cases you hear about the boyfriend/husband beating or killing their girlfriend/wife, all started good with the man treating the woman well. But there are always red flags in the beginning; most women just don't seem to see them because they are in the infatuation or honeymoon phase of the relationship. Some women see the red flags but think nothing of it, because at the time the red flags aren't that serious. Some women are simply not experienced enough with men to see the signs.
In the Charlie Sheen case, I can no longer blame him for all of his actions with women. In the beginning, yes, I blame him. But now I don't, Charlie Sheen has been known for years about using drugs and his womanizing behavior. These women like Denise Richards or any other women he's been with in that past 10 years had it coming to them. They either never bothered to see his past or thought they could change him. Some of these women have the Messiah Complex, thinking they can save Charlie Sheen from his destructive past. Probably hoping he does a 180 like Robert Downey Jr.. Maybe some wanted money and knew he was going to keep screw up all along and either want to have kids with him and or marry him to then divorce him to receive alimony and or child support. I can no longer think these women are victims. It's not like Charlie Sheen just recently started to act like a douche-bag, he's been acting this way for a long time. Women knowing this continue to want to be with him and then want to play the victim card when he abuses or does something to them.

Our book deals with the role of the man in these unhealthy mirage relationships. But there is another book to be written by women authors about the woman's role in the mirage relationship, especially in the case of a known rogue like Charlie after his first divorce.
