And I know for myself, I really don't get frustrated when people don't do what others think might be good for them. I might in a personal relationship, where I was living with someone and it affected us that way.
It's unusual I think.
But I think once they know, what *may* be good for them, it's really up to them to steer the ship.
But I do understand why other people get frustrated.

It's rather to me like watching an alcoholic or a drug addict make several attempts.. and going back.
Regardless. It's the not taking the medication that is the issue here. Lot's of people don't do it. What the result is, or how it manifests itself is simply a roll of the dice. The intent, and the reason for not taking it is no more deserving of negative judgement because of the result.
If two children are playing with matches, and one gets away without injury, while the other burns the house down.. the second isn't more deserving of punishment, The act is the same.
And absolutely if you can't risk that it might not end up the way you wish, without becoming very upset, then don't get involved.
