Cassandra is on Wikipedia...at this time the term is almost correct. Knowing Wikipedia, the readers can and do change the text to what they think it should read.
But for now "Cassandra metaphor..." is looking OK.

To response to the previous post, educating and informing professionals about OTRS/Cassandra phenomenon continues to be an uphill battle.

The biggest hurdle of NT-AS families is to have professionals/counselors/etc LISTEN to the AS individuals AND the NT spouses. Many AS adults feel that only they should we heard regarding NT-AS relationships. Of course this is ToM 'talking,' as there are two parties, two viewpoints involved within NT-AS relationships, something AS individuals have difficulty understanding.
By professionals allowing/accepting only the AS 'voices' to be heard, they are making/causing more distance between the NT-AS spouses. The relationship issues/problems involve both the AS individual AND the NT spouse. With both 'voices' being heard, professionals will better understand the complete picture regarding NT-AS relationships, then real progress for the couple may be
introduced.

If, the professional allows the NT to discuss the NT-aspect of living with someone with AS, and the professional does not accept or recognize the issues/problems for the NT, then run, do not walk, to another professional. It may take a few attempts, but there are professionals who accept and understand OTRS/Cassandra phenomenon and the importance of them validating and accepting both the NT and AS individual.

The ideal situation for support-assistance for a NT-AS relationship, is for each spouse to have their own professional-counselor. A professional who understands, accepts and validates their client and his/her particular needs and viewpoint. Later on, when both spouses feel they are strong enough, bring the professionals and their clients together for group support and assistance meetings.
