W asked me this morning if I have been reading her journal, ummmmmm uh oh, I didn't say yes, basically beat around the bush. I feel tiny right now. But I don't really care.
I'm not going to read it anymore.
Told her I don't go in her room or through her things, not going to waste my time. She probably doesn't believe me but nothing I say right now she will believe anyway.
What did you learn about lying recently?
You lie to avoid confrontation. You lie to control her reaction to what you have said or done.
Neither of these things show strength.
"Yes I did read your journal, it wasn't the right thing to do, I know this, neither is lying, there is really nothing more I can say about this, I apologize for invading your privacy."
