RLA....


The reason I asked you this question is...


That you appear to be struggling with who you are, when you are around him.

What I did in the beginning, and even more as I had to deal with the craziness of the situation. ( Over 2 years with a live-in MLCer)...

Was that I really took the time to define who I was, through the list that I made.

I made a list of the things that I wanted in life. And I decided to be the change that I wanted to see. It wasn't for my spouse, it was for me, and what I wanted to show the world through my everyday living.

I certainly couldn't expect to be treated that way if I didn't show it as well....

I would like for you to think about what that list means to you, and maybe define it a little further. Narrow down exactly what
Genuine means, or what Thoughtful means to you. How can you SHOW that , and what it looks like coming back to you.

What does it mean to be a Great Mother, or inspiring ??




Make sense ?

For me, it was a great way to take the focus of what was happening around me, and it allowed me to really focus on making the best choices I could, each day. Regardless of how I was being treated by others.
