Probably the wrong reaction but I am just so angry today.
This to me, is controlling, and manipulative. It also doesn't play well into what you are trying to do....
It is a purely emotional REACTION, rather than a response....
Your goal (your words), is that you want to do better.
To do better, you need to BE better, in all aspects.
The "but" in your above statement meant that you knew better, yet still CHOSE to react with more of the same 'ol Great....
In that one sentence, you CHOSE to show her that you aren't working to change, and that you aren't willing to do anything differently than you have in the past...
