They lack honesty, openness, gentleness, consideration, sensitivity, clarity, affection, balance, joy, health, tolerance, forgiveness, understanding, and wisdom. Their manipulative strategy must not encourage people to recognize what is lacking in their lives; for people who can see what is lacking will see through the strategy. Thus collusive addicts and their supportive codependents focus attention upon what other people have done, are doing, or might do; and inhibit other people who might recognize what the collusive addicts have not done, are not doing or might neglect to do. To deal wisely with the perverse logic, reason and intelligence of collusive addicts and their supportive codependents --- we need to seek to recognize what is lacking in their lives, and in the lives of the people whom they dominate in violently manipulative ways.
