No more looking 4 Happy, Going to create it myself

[Coach]

What I learned in the past 18 months from weekly IC & weekly MC;

1. take things are face value
2. the one in distress has the obligation to speak up
3. do not make strong declarative statements
4. Ask questions... What can I do differently next time ?
5. If you have a need or want, you might want to state it out loud. Neither one of us is capable of reading minds.
6. Be specific with requests, & know that it's okay for the other person to say yes, no, or I'll think about it.
7. It's okay for the other person to be angry.
8. It's NOT OKAY to scream, yell, call names, get personal, intimidate, or threaten the other.
9. It's nice to be able to depend on someone, it sucks to be dependent on anyone.
10. The healthiest relationship is a "power equal" relationship.
11. Save yourself first.

12. The people here (DB) really care. Some of them are more like family to me than my own flesh & blood. Hugs

BBJ, I have reading your thread since you moved over here. The list above is from Cookie's thread. She went thru a lot of the frustration you are feeling now. I do think Sara is right you have to get the dialouge scheduled and flowing. I understand the feeling like you are carrying the load, part of that comes from not getting the feedback you crave. You can handle it.
Are you still running? The weather has cooled here so running is much more enjoyable.
Cheers
