    I’ll assume that a pattern in this case is a mental illness (they can (just) walk away from)?

      No, if it were mental illness you couldn’t walk away from it. But cyclical patterns of behavior are things otherwise healthy people can fall into

        That’s how I think about it too. And that’s why I got confused 😅
