My WAW - coming to terms with it all!

[WAW_SC]

Thanks Semperfi00, a great morale booster. I appreciate it.

I think the initial hit threw me off. The irony is that I had set some goals and achieved some of them in the morning as i drove my W into work.
Goals were:
- W will ask me how I am going
- Have a conversation that is pleasant that will last for more than 15 minutes
- Make some good eye contact

The email re: Family relationship centre meeting came in the afternoon and deflated all my enthusiasm. It hurt.
I have had a cry, a think and recognise the following:

1. Im not done yet. Im not ready to give up on M yet and i will remember the positive things about yesterday because there was some good that came out of it.

2. Im not done changing myself yet...plenty of room for improvement

3. This was a setback, but not the end and there will be many more setbacks along the way. I will try and be prepared for them and focus on staying positive.

This has also been a good opportunity to practice a 180 which is
- instead of dwelling on stuff and staying upset/negative (which i use to do) I will just roll on and get straight back into being positive with W.
I did this last night in response to a text she sent me re: sons soccer training tomorrow. I was positive, helpful and friendly
I will hold no grudges, I will stay focused and keep a PMA.

Oh yeah.........and PATIENCE.
