Well at least you give an opinion and not the royal word. Perhaps I stated that all wrong. I'm sure I would have helped him no matter what. But everyone tells me "screw him" he left, his problem. How does that not influence a person? I was thinking how wrong that is in general. If I was a jerk how would he ever respect me? My problem is I am seen as a doormat that I kiss his butt no matter what he does. And sometimes I think HE doesn't respect that. And I am told I need boundaries by my group as he comes and goes in the house as his own. I see no issues with that but others do. I don't mind getting OPINIONS from others, in fact I relish it. What I do NOT like is being told what to do and that things I do are wrong. Every situation and every person is different. What may not work for one may work for another. OPINION is the key here, and some people think what they say goes which is very upsetting.

I am working on GAL and being more positive and I have made great strides. Getting negative feedback makes me fall back into old routines. I am not going to listen to it anymore I have decided. Removing the negatives wherever possible. Thanks Cat, as always! \:\)
