OK folks, I changed the dynamics by standing up, making a decision and taking control of my direction.. Honestly it felt good standing up for myself, and seeing the concern now growing in her eyes.... but I am nervous and scared too, she did not (will not) see that from me
Am very proud of you, DD. I got giddy reading that part and am very interested in seeing how this is going to turn out.
When do you move back in officially? You probably did shock the heck out of her by saying what you said.
When you get back in the house, I recommend that you act cool and happy. Still keep GAL'ing and working on you. Do not fall into fighting with her, even if she's instigating.
