I am calmer snods, and figure the ladies like me around. I think I abused that with ow and really feel horrible in that regard. I am going to avoid all contact this week as a goal and I have only one thing coming at the end of the week that involves her and it is a work realated thing.
Her one and only email last week was about just that one work thing. My one and only email was a response to it and I held back sending anything this weekend . I used ot like to have a little jokey kind of email waiting for her on mondays but not this time. I'm not kidding myself any longer and I'm gaining emotionally by staying away in general even though I have my pitfalls.

Should be an interesting week. W has only blown up like once or twice today and I have done all the cooking and feel like my old self a little in doing little things like that. MIL thinks I'm the greatest cook in the world but all I do is follow the damn instructions on the box. Like you said, if I was alone, I'd be doing these things anyway so I'm just doing them and the heck with it.
Let's try that philosophy for a while and keep track how nuts-o I get this week and we'll see what the causes are.
Darn I sound smart all of the sudden.
On ADD, parent didnt have it but my mom died from alcoholism andI think she drank a lot while pregnant with me. I have had depression for quite a while and have been treated off and on back when I was 19 and over the last several years off and on and various meds. I dont know if the alcohol has anything to do with it.
