Time For Me (Part 3)

But boundaries are about us, not them.

Spartan, I felt I had to do the same about 6 months ago. Huge temp check because I still needed someone else to define my path for me.

In my weaker moments I still slide back there but I just keep to the mantra, This is about me.

That part of me gets stronger every day.

But boundaries are about us, not them.

Fully agree!!! That's what I meant when I said sometimes things finally have to be said. Going along being friendly and pretending to be a happy family, while great at times was also hurting me deep down because I saw the other side. Assuming she remembers and didn't shut down, she knows why I'm not talking as much, acting like BF's, or pretending to be the happy cohesive family any longer. Those things are still possible in the future if she makes decisions that don't hurt me and the kids, until then I'm done pretending when it's convenient for her. What I said had nothing to do with trying to make her see what I think she's doing wrong, make her see she's hurting people, or even make her see my point of view. It was to explain the reasons I won't accept it any longer and the outcomes to her decisions.

From BD's thread:

But Spartan is right...

I had to document that in my own thread.

I might be getting closer to where I want to be than I thought .

Let the games begin...

Well kid, you threw one by me.

Savour the flavour, cause it sure as hell won't happen again.

In the meantime, good luck to you

Marty, cut a check to Callahan Auto for those brake pads!

[uRworthy]

Oh Spartan, did you really say let the games begin to Mach?

You have no idea, do you?
Good luck to ya, man. Good luck. LOL!

[Spartan]

Tommy Boy...nicely played

Yeah uRworthy, I know what I'm doing (famous last words). Sometimes these threads can be so serious I try to inject a little humor. It's hard enough living this without that

[uRworthy]

I hear ya, back in the day we used to have some of the best times on our threads.

We used to have a virtual party thread every so often.

With music, food and drink choices. And then there were the games. Man, the things people came up with.

Sense of humor goes a long way.

^^^ yep.^^^ That is how I survive

Thanks for the humor. I love movie quotes (and Seinfeld quotes).

Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass.....
It's about learning to dance in the rain!
