kas~I did the same thing as you and completely shut off the media because it was too much for me. I try to stick with local news that I access online and don't listen to the rest. I am sorry I don't chime in more on your posts but I do keep up with everything going on. You are growing so much.
I'm challenging myself to only post or say out loud positive or ways that I've grown. I'll sometimes write a negative post and usually I'll catch myself before I hit send.
S19 asked H if he'd buy me a lawnmower like he promised. H said he couldn't afford it. D14 told me H spent a lot of money on her and I got upset, said things I now regret. H ended up sending me a $200 check and I told D14 because she was feeling guilty. It wasn't her fault I know. I was just angry. D14 was happy he sent me money and I got angry again. He makes so much more than me and I'm supposed to be happy he sent me $200? I thought she's a child she has no idea how little $200 really is so I enlightened her. Yeah I instantly regretted that too.
I've filed for D, I've cut expenses to the bone, so getting upset solves nothing it just brings everyone down. I think if I am grateful then it lets him off the hook but it's not really about him is it?
