In my case I'm angry.. and that's how it comes out. I don't know if it's right or wrong. I'm not cursing, demeaning, ragging.. just saying what is the truth from my persective.
Initially I had to tell the WHOLE story. It's gradually getting shorter and shorter. It's not like I want people to hate him. It's the eight year old in me who wants folks to agree with me!
I keep trying to repeat the advice one friend gave me when it came to spouse. "Just think 'karma', Kathleen.. just think 'karma'". I'm thinking that more.. will see where it takes me.
Actually, the best thing is being so busy I don't have time to tell that tale of woe.. or even have it be the leading story of my life. You know the old newspaper/TV adage... "If it bleeds, it leads." Everyone is so attracted to disaster.
My brother once told me to get ready to give myself a pat on the back. "When?" was my reply. "The day spouse says he doesn't know who you are." "Huh?" I continued eloquently. "Because then you will be thinking for yourself, what's right for you rather than what he thinks or wants you to do."
