Exposure is a wonderful thing isnt' it? Just motivates you out the wazoo...
YES! I can't believe how strengthening it is. I never even thought that I should tell the kids about what H has been doing. That was the very thing I feared: having to tell them. Now, however, I find that after telling S16 that I've faced the worse and not only is he not mad at me for considering booting H out the door, he wants to help me do it!
liberating. And to see S's disgust just tells me how strong I can be - that I NEED to stand up to that disgusting behavior.
I've known all along about self-respect, etc... but I never counted on how freeing it would be to tell the kids the truth of the matter and exposing H's behavior. Wow. MOTIVATING is not even strong enough... it's beyond that.
Son said, "WE will be fine." If HE can say that, I da*n sure can!
