At this point in the book, I began wanting to yell at Teresa to end this relationship before it ended her. I've counseled people like Teresa and Greg (unsuccessfully), so this may add to my frustration over her inability to see just how pointless it was for her to try to fix Greg. Unfortunately, the biggest lie an addict ever tells is the one they tell themselves. For Greg, it was, "I don't have a problem." For Teresa, it was, "I can make this work." For me, this chapter is just where the desire to yell began. My desire steadily increased as their situation became more bizarre and dangerous, chapter-by-chapter.
