Mama--I like Amy's concept. And I also think it's spot on.
Start with the big things. The fact that your H said something about you sounding like his Mommy might be a good place to start.
What are the behaviors *you* think that give him the perception that he's a little boy and you have the control? List 3-5 of them. Then under each negative behavior, write down what you feel you need to do to change.
Mama, I kept a journal of these things--a spiral bound notebook to force myself to stay committed to the cause. I also logged the reactions I got to my changes. It's what held me accountable to the promises I made to myself.
If you want to do it here too, that's great. Then people who post to you can point out how the results work for or against you.
Hope you have a fabulous Friday.
