Maybe not too complicated to understand

[Michael Mc C]

Good morning all. Had some backsliding this weekend, further proof that I'm not quite where I need to be.

Had a good time with family for my birthday but W became distant and anti-social. I guess I was trying to "help" by suggesting that she come back to join us (she was straightening up, checking emails, etc.) She didn't appreciate it and made some comments about how things needed to be done BY SOMEONE. Anyway, we ended up having some words privately and, as could be expected, we both ended up in crappy moods.

I am still working on simply letting her do what she's going to do. I need to remember that her actions are not necessarily a reflection on me and if she continues to alienate family and friends, it is her doing.

By the end of the weekend we were on much better terms (we had a short but meaningful discussion on Sunday morning after we both had time to recover our composure.)

Just have to keep moving forward and learn from my mistakes.
