"First of all I have done registration by myself for the past 16 years so I think I can handle it by myself this year. Second of all don't think for a second you are going to take over my duties as their mother or try to make me look and feel as if I'm incapable of being there. You tried last year around Christmas and just about destroyed me and I will never let you do that to me or them ever again. You tried to take them away from me emotionally being your usual and continuing manipulative self. You have done so much damage to me, them, and our (the kids and my) relationship that it is irreparable. Do not respond to this text as I do not want to hear anymore of your 'I'm sorrys'."
Don't respond. She's dying to lay into you. Coach thought bubble... "Don't take the bait Antlers, don't take the bait" She's miserable and is trying to blame you. Antlers does not roll like this anymore. You think she is doing some mind-reading????????? Be patient and watch what happens.
"Patience is the companion of wisdom." - St Augustine
Cheers Coach
OK, I won't. I haven't been taking the bait, and I don't intend to start now. Yeah...I think she's doing some mind-reading, and it's that part that I find hard to leave alone!
Thanks Coach!
ps - yeah...patience...a wise man once said 'in your patience possess ye your souls'!
