A fresh start? (probably not!)

[CW2017]

Hi all
just a small point/observation. There has been a bit of discussion across the boards recently on a couple of issues, namely "one step forward, three steps back" as well as not realising how much co-dependency might still be involved unbeknownst. Well, it was my birthday last Friday. Although I was probably overtired from a heavy first week back at work, I was a bit upset that my W (and her mother, although that's another story) did not get me a card (although my DD did by virtue of her mother). Although this has not been the first time (I think) I saw it as a reflection of the lack of respect on her part. So it knocked me sideways a bit which just goes to show how easy it is for certain buttons to be pressed (despite feeling quite strong at the time) and how interwtined I still appear to be (without overanalysing of course!)
