Anyone ever read "the curse of lovely". It was the closest thing I found to nmmng. It is next on my read list, so just wondering. After that I have codependent no more, lined up.

Other than that nothing much to note. I have finished listening to a be your full potential CD book... twice. I have started some of the pma exercises in that, plus others taken from other books. I may outline more of these, but for now I want to concentrate on making these habits and not just exercises.

I am implementing my plan to replace poor characteristics with better ones. Part of this is being more assertive at home. I have started letting W know when her behavior is not acceptable,e.g. talks to me like I was her kid, instead of an adult. Obviously I try limit this to stuff important to me and my respect,because otherwise it could be time consuming! I have to tweak this but it is one of my new actions started.

One of my exercises is grounding so I don't over dwell on the past or over stress the future. If anyone has advice about grounding, I'm all ears.
