That regardless of whether I was experiencing a live-in, or a movem out MLCer.
That I would hold my core values close to me, while allowing my WAS to experience her values for herself. Not trying to force what I think is wrong or right onto her, and not allowing what she is or isn't doing affect what I am trying to do. Not allowing her actions, to dictate my actions.
And that ultimately, the goal would be that we hold the best interest of the children in the forefront of our thoughts and actions. That NOTHING was more important than they were, and although we may have different views of that, we pause for long enough to determine what was truth, and what was ego, and if it was ego, then we could set that aside for long enough to do what was right....
And that also means that I respect the decisions that my WAS makes, whether or not I agree with them, or even like them. That it is MY choice on how I respond, or if I respond to them...
And like I said previously....
Showing it all. The good , bad, and ugly....
Yet handling it differently....
Okay, so maybe not "fun"....
You get the gist of it though...
Oh, and no naughty list for me, I get into enough trouble on my own : )
