wow, sandi, you are so wise! thank you so much for helping me. i really am all caught up in this and it's hard to figure out how to handle it all since it's so foreign. it's always so tempting to respond, correct, or defend. it's hard to remember that i don't HAVE to respond at all and just listen. i've decided to try to count to 3 in my head, breathe deeply several times, and then choose the appropriate way to handle. it's just so hard when i'm under attack. but, i'm going to try harder.
on my GAL front, i've just booked a cruise with my son and his family for later in the month. i'm not sure how to handle it with my husband as he will be in the same house with me when i pack and when i leave (at least that's what i think now).
any suggestions on how to let him know i'm going? do i let him know where and with whom or just keep it vague? i know he won't be happy about it because he seems to be happiest when i just sit home and feel punishment and misery... ;-)
i'm also going to call for an appointment with an IC today to help me deal with my life, now, in the past, and in the future, no matter what happens.
thanks to all who are on here. without your stories and guidance, i'd be lost and really making lots of mistakes.
