LOOK   AWAY

“Dad, why do you always look away when I

ask, “Don’t you think you’re drinking too much?”

“Hon, why do you always look away

when I ask, ‘How about going out to eat?”

“Mom, when I ask, ‘Are you going to go to

the doctor?’ you always look away. Why?”

When I ask, "Are you the one who keeps

doing this, you always look away.”

"Look me in the eye, please! Don't you
realize I'm scared to look you in the eye too?"

“Don’t look away. Look me in the eye and

tell me you want in or out of this relationship.”
