My emotional world imploded, and there is nothing that could have been said or done to make it easier. No one was in the wrong, and maybe that is what made it so painful. I wanted someone to blame, but instead got the two people I loved most doing their best to navigate uncharted waters. Sara Bareilles
About This Quote

When you are in an emotionally difficult situation, it can be difficult to see clearly. When people say that there is no one to blame, they are trying to be helpful. It is understandable that if you are experiencing an emotional crisis, you may not want to blame anyone for the pain you feel. However, it is possible that a person can cause a crisis by not doing his or her part to prevent a future crisis.

For example, a child who puts a cigarette out on their parent’s hand should not be blamed for the burns. If the mother was smoking around the child and did not put the cigarette down as she should have, then she is responsible for unintentional burns as well as deliberate ones. In the same manner, when someone is in an emotionally difficult situation, it is important to look at all of the factors involved and determine responsibility for those factors rather than just blaming a particular person or group of people.
