Continual Struggle

[labug]

Hi Breakdown, I don't think I've ever posted to you before but wanted to share something with you. I was reading your Boot Camp thread because I try to read everything Mach writes and came across your mention of sarcasm. I, too cultivated sarcasm, and did a pretty good job or it. People thought I was funny, I got attention and validation. Then I was taught by a wise man in Al Anon what sarcasm really was-malice and anger.

I was definitely taken aback by that realization and have been working on correcting that character flaw. It still occurs but not nearly so frequently.

I too am a judgmental, controlling fixer with a touch of passive-aggressive. But recovering.
