Well today at work I took a little quiz and it turns out I am passive. Not passive-aggressive. I know that this is how I was raised and now see myself acting like my father... (sigh).
I am proud of myself today because a friend told me that WAW is telling everyone she knows that I was abusive to her. (Yes physically and verbally). I am proud because my reaction was not to be defensive, but having one of empathy for her.
If people think that I am abusive, then they really don't know me and aren't really my friends.
It sounds like a lot of the people now have turned on her because of the slander. Oh well, that's the consequences for her actions.
As for me, I have been enjoying playing my new PS3 with the Move controller with my friends. Letting out some frustration by hitting them out of the park. I also have been having a lot of quality time with D. She is growing up so fast!
Saturday, when I dropped her of at daycare, it was the first time she did not cry or have to be distracted. She just smiled at me, waved, and said Bye, Bye Dadda!
That moment was bittersweet because I have been preparing her to get to that point of independence, but when she got there, I felt a little less needed for a moment (and I liked that feeling).
Oh well, life goes on.
