I did a combo of the original & kalni's edits. including the "LOL"
Where-- I am so glad you are thinking about DB'ing your family!! it's so funny, I used to think the way to work on relationships was to talk about what was wrong ("Mom, when you do ___ I feel like *(&*(") but my family really didn't ever respond to that. So I just started experimenting & monitoring results, & trying to do more of what works and less of what doesn't, and I can't *believe* how different things are now. It's like i have space to step back and see who my parents are as people with their own wounds and issues... you know?? I can't wait to hear about you DBing other family members!!!
OD--I am so glad you like the email and how I handled the "so you are single now?" conversation. It's funny, I just really wasn't interested in telling the SAGA anymore. But I wanted to share *something* emotional b/c this friend was confiding in me. I'm glad you liked how I did
K--I love your suggestion that I add "LOL" and make it clear which day is easiest for me!!!
SG--Wow, you are on my thread!! Yay!! Thank you for your thoughts!!!
((((((EVERYONE))))))))
I want to read up on all your threads but I must scurry and go rehearse now.
