Puppy - Did some good work with my counselor Wednesday night. I'm working on strategies for myself to not make what he says or does about me. Because it's really about him - what he needs to work on for himself. Of course getting back to my regular exercise routine (and losing an additional pound)and taking anxiety medicine on those rough days sure help too! She(counselor) did say it would of probably have helped in the situation I described in my previous post where he was short-tempered with me (something fell out of the refrigerator on him and he had to clean it up) if I'd showed him a little empathy first. Said something like - I'm sorry that happened to you, do you need my help?
Whatever funk he was in earlier this week he seems to have worked through. We had a nice evening together last night. After I worked out, I stopped by to pick up my prescription and he was calling looking for me and asking when I was getting home. There was a nice surprise waiting for me. He and my youngest son had actually cleaned up the kitchen. I made sure to really thank him for that.
I work on a charitable committee at work and as a thank you we got free tickets to our firm's box seats for the baseball game on Sunday. Looking forward to that.
As you said I just need to stay focused on GAL right now. I'm here to support him but he has to work through his own issues just like I'm trying to work through mine.
