He's Loving the Freedom of the 180 - Now What?

[newmama]

I, too, needed time to absorb what was happening. I missed SO many opportunities along the way, but I can't go back and change them now.

how are we supposed to anticipate everything that can happen, though? I mean I totally relate to what you are saying. But one thing I learned in all of this is that I am NOT GOOD at defending/responding/asking on the fly! I reserve the right to say, from now on, "I need time to absorb this. I want to finish this discussion soon but not now." For anyone who drops a bomb on me, not just stbxh!

And we CAN change how we respond/act from this point forward though. Why not revisit a discussion if necessary? Why not make a change that should have been done? (within reason)
