I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has said to me: “But Wendy, you don’t understand my situation.” It usually comes in the middle of a conversation where I’m offering suggestions about how they can make positive changes in their life. They’ll cut me off mid-sentence, saying something like, “Wendy, that’s great advice, but…” or “I wish I could do that, but…” And then they’ll launch into a well-prepared monologue about how their life is so difficult (or complicated or overwhelming — you get the idea) that the normal rules do not apply.
