Old dog seeks new trick 8

[gan]

Strikes me like a lot of this is about setting boundaries. This is not an area I am working on, OD, but I know others have struggled with this so hopefully someone can come forward. Anyone have suggestions for reading re setting boundaries?

In terms of the financials - you'll have to be careful to not come off as all vindictive. Again, this is where some discussion around framing boundaries would be useful I think.

Re boys - good on you for improving your relationship with the boys! To be honest, that doesn't really come through in your posts (which focus a lot on W). How about reporting back here on fun things you are doing with them etc. Try to one up yourself on things you do with them (= good GAL motivator). Check out Edz and Jim's threads for some inspiration.

Re not knowing many people to GAL with. Me neither. How are we going to address that? I've been looking into meetup groups, inviting random work colleagues out for lunch/after work drinks, trying to join a team for trailwalker, saying yes to social opportunities I might have turned down previously. I figure somewhere along the line I meet some people who I want to hang out with more. It's hard, but it's part of my work on me plan. Do you have any other ideas?
