I hadn't heard the term "escape forward" before. It's a great way to describe what I previously didn't have the words to, thanks! > from the French: fuite en avant. It means: “an escape forward.” The idea is basically this: you escape a disaster by moving on quickly. Alas, most of the time, you're moving quickly to the next disaster.
