Have started a new thread in MLC. I was in the newcomers forum for these last two months. My previous threads Alien Invasion and Alien Invastion Pt 2.
Keeping sane..just..only because I now have some idea of what to expect from an MLC'er. R is steady because I step back and don't get involved in H's tantrums. If I don't think its going to be helpful to my sitch I keep my mouth shut - taped very firmly. Much to the dismay of my D19 and S18, who often tell me to stand up for myself more. I don't see it like that. I just see it as picking my battles now and standing firm in my own space. I have a shield up to any one or thing that wants to use me as a punching bag these days. Including my son and daughter. However, I am grateful to them for understanding the situation and keeping their mouths shut in front of H too. Its hard for teenagers to do that and I am proud of them. Its taught them about self control as well.
