I guess I want to make an effort to out live his MLC, and sometimes I am concerned I am contributing to it. I just don't want to ruin any chances of R, even though I am not sure if that is what I would want anymore.
I say Bravo!, B.
He was late and the kids need to get to school. You told him and you followed through.
Like a teenager, if you don't set boundaries and stick to them, he will walk all over you. Don't worry if he gets mad, how many times did we as teenager scream at our parents for trying to set rules? Yet, at the heart of it we did not stop loving them just because the rules were enforced.
You don't have to be sure if the R is what you want. I am sure not. But you, like me, have decided to hedge your bets AND grow. At the end of all of this, if we can manage not to hate them for their actions (and heaven knows I have my moments!) I think we come out on top.
