Don't count on it. It's too easy to blame others for your actions and doing so means she will never fully learn. If she takes some responsibility for her actions (they are her fault) then she's already well on the road to healing.

you are right duke. she started this behaviour long before she met this older idiot. she never took responsibility for her actions. hopefully now she'll start.

but the older idiot didn't help any in the past year. maybe now that the bad influences will be out of the picture (because i'm taking her away from this god forsaken city) maybe now we'll get a chance to start woking on her taking responsibility for her actions. we could never do that before because shew wouldn't be around long enough. i'm a hoping. that's all i can do for now is hope and pray. the rest is up to her now.

Unfortunately the rest is left up to hope isn't it?
