John Lennon was right when he said, “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.”  Like ostriches, we plunk our heads down and pretend everything is okay—because if we lift our heads up and take a peek around, we might have to make difficult, painful choices that could hurt, disappoint, or anger someone else as well as ourselves. Or we might deny or ignore what we feel because we don’t have a solution to the dilemma we are facing and thus become incapable of letting go of unhealthy relationships.
