So I was feeling good about this whole interaction and was thinking I should leave soon so it would end on a good note. Ha! Didn't get gone quite soon enough. She brought up the topic of paying for stuff and as she went on, I could see the flywheel-of-anger start to spool up. This is a very ingrained pattern with her--get angry and start to blame Diesel for everything that has gone wrong. I did not take the bait. I told her I did not come to the house to argue, said good bye, got into my car and left. This was another 180 for me. A year ago I would have engaged and a full-blown fight would have ensued.
My relationship with W may be FUBAR, but I'm feeling better and better about myself and my behavior at least.
Hello Diesel,
I couldn't be prouder of you than I am right now. Way to go, Diesel.
Not taking the bait is a great example of a 180. Give yourself a pat on the back.
See how much progress you have made?
Your friend,
Bob
