We are on the brink

[Avanti]

You are making great progress SJ, some of the things you did today are right on the mark.

I'd hate to think you are being pushed by us, more firmly but gently guided in the right direction. :-)

When you've read the chapter about goal setting you may understand more of what we are saying so let's wait to see how you see them when you've had time to reflect on the MWD text.

Your husband trying to control you in that way is not acceptable and I think you need to set some boundaries for him, one being not to talk to you like that at any time let alone in front of the children. Boundary setting is not covered in any depth in the DR book (someone correct me if I am wrong) but there is plenty on the net about it. You did however deal with the situation well today, the next step is to stop it happening again and being confident about what to do if it does and that's where boundaries come in.

Just curious...you said you were marking papers, what subject do you teach and what level?
