EXPECTATIONS:

It is our job to identify our needs, and then determine
a balanced way of getting those needs met.

It is unreasonable to expect anyone to be able or
willing to meet our every request. We are responsible
for asking for what we want and need. It's the other
person's responsibility to freely choose whether or
not to respond to our request.

It is unreasonable and unhealthy to expect one person
to be the source for meeting all our needs. Ultimately,
we will become angry and resentful, maybe even
punishing, toward that person for not supporting us as
we expected.

It is reasonable to have certain and well-defined
expectations of our spouse, children, and friends.

If a person cannot or will not be there for us, then we
need to take responsibility for ourselves in that
relationship. We may need to set a boundary, alter
our expectations, or change the limits of the
relationship to accommodate that person's
unavailability.

It is reasonable to sprinkle our wants and needs
around and to be realistic about how much we ask
or expect of any particular person.

The issue of expectations goes back to knowing
that we are responsible for identifying our needs,
believing they deserve to get met, and discover an

appropriate, satisfactory way to do that in our life.
