For those with a WAS...How do you cope?

[courts0818]

So this morning I tried taking DD to story time at the library. Oh goodness...she would not sit still, be quiet and listen. After a warning, I picked her up and we left. She yelled on our walk out of the library, "No Mommy!" and plenty of just screeching and crying. I'm sure my face was all shades of red as EVERYONE stopped to stare at us. Ahhhh...with all the stress my H has put into my life by walking away - that could have ruined the rest of my morning. In the past, I would have been a stressed out, frustrated grump. But not today...I kept my cool. Talked to my DD about her behavior and we had a successful stop at the store before going home.

IDK...guess I'm just feeling stronger and better. Sometimes I let the stress of our marriage just eat up all of my energy and patience, but not today! And it feels great. We came home and got out all of the Halloween decorations, had lunch and a good rest of the morning.

I'm hanging in there and trying....it's still a roller coaster. But, I'm releasing myself of all the worry.
