J friend, she's been pushing you hard and I get it. You snapped.

Forgive yourself.

The damage control you did with your son was on target.

However, look at it so it doesn't happen again.

This cannot happen again.

How do you handle an irrational person? You don't.

She can and will continue to say lots of stuff about everything and nothing. She's doing what people in crisis do. It's not going to change today.

You fed the beast while your son was listening.

I know you know all this.

So, how do you get better at detaching? You've seized everything else. What do you need to do to prevent this from occurring again?

She can and will say the sky is red, you caused all her problems, your mother wears combat boots, you smell, etc...

What will you do next time?

Lots of love to you. Next time, you will do better. :-)

I know it.

Heather
