No one's perfect. I require my people to be actively working to process, care for, and develop as needed a plan for living with their issues. I require the same of myself. A lot of the people in my life are what other people would call broken. But my bipolar heartsister knows to meditate and pray and make sure she's eating right when she's under stress, so she doesn't tip into mania. And my obsessive-compulsive girlfriend knows not to watch her feet when she walks so she doesn't count the cracks in the sidewalk, and to take her pills. My husband knows to tell me when his knee is bothering him so we can work around it. I don't plan two big events back to back, because thanks to the fibro, I don't have that kind of capacity. As long as people are honest and open, own their issues, and want to become a better person, then we can probably work with that. If they don't, won't, and can't, then they don't get to be in my life.
