Hey TVS..am so proud of you and you keeping up your PMA despite your difficult sitch.
No news on the job front even though I try every day. Where I live it is extremely difficult to get jobs so it will be a tough road but I will keep trying. I am still helping my friend paint her house. Its a huge house and we are doing one room at a time. There is no hurry and I enjoy keeping busy.
I think the fact that I now step back when my H has a tantrum has helped diffuse the situation here a lot. Once upon a time I would take his crap on board and always feel to blame somewhat, or chastise him for his bad behaviour (mothering him). Now I find if I stay calm or walk away, the only person he has to blame is himself for his lack of self-control. I don't know if he ever looks inward and feels embarassed about it. I don't even go there. Its really created a sense of freedom in me because I am no longer bogged down with it. I'm happy, positive and living life being the best person I can be. He can be Mr Cranky Pants but he ain't dragging me down with him.
