I sort of figured you'd catch that detail. In any given interaction between two people, , say A and B, then the number of relationships is AB^2, or four in this case -- A to B, B to A, A to A, and B to B. Many people don't know about the significance of the self relationship, but things can hit that one as hard or harder as the interpersonal ones (I guess the proper term for that self relationship is an intrapersonal relationship, at least in that conceptual model).
I'm glad things have gotten more stable for him. That's one concern off the table.
