First of all, let me say that I am kicking myself for not adding the P.S. that I had in my head last night about your vast knowledge of P/A behavior! ;\) I read that last night and had to laugh.. if she knew "Sting" in his heyday....oh man!

Please do get the van going. I am feeling "ookey" on this board again and I don't like it. No, this is NOT one of those dramatic posts about how I am leaving the board (sniff, sniff).

I just get weary of it, ya know?

Cagzmom, that is not intended towards you in any way. I respect you for coming here and rethinking your actions. That is what saved me. I had to get past all the thinking that there was some easy fix out there. I had to dig deep and admit that there were times that I didn't behave as well as I could have. I see the light bulb going off for you and I am happy.

You know what has me all discombobulated, Mer? I think that is the fact that I just read your Solution Journal post. You restated those goals brilliantly. It pisses me off that there is so little of that great advice out here. You did better than the person who set up the journal in the first place!

Also, I see those journals as a suggested means to an easy fix. There ain't one, people! I guess I am feeling a bit angry because the down to earth advice is ignored because the shiny, promise-of-a-better R NOW advice is being dangled elsewhere.

Mer, thanks for being here for me. You tell it like it is and I love that about you.
And, you KNOW that no one puts Baby in the corner!
