You know what I am sick and tired of??? *the fact that my husband, my A, can go out and do whatever / whenever he wants without any regard to our kids or me *the fact that he can go out and get drunk to get away from his problems *the fact that I have to do EVERYTHING around this house to make it run *the fact that I am going to be the bad guy when I ask him to leave *the fact that nothing gets done around here unless I ask someone to do it *the fact that when it rains it pours *the fact that I am the only one working on trying to get better *the fact that I cannot get away without feeling guilty *the fact that I sleep in our foster child's room because I can't stand sleeping in a stinky room with a drunk *the fact that all the bills are in my name, we are in debt over our heads and when we separate it will be my credit that will be bad *the fact that I have not been able to give my kids the childhood they deserved *the fact that life is too short to be spending so much time unhappy Well that is enough for now. I needed to get that out. Thanks. Linda

Know what I love about all of us that are working the program.....

*the fact that we care enough about ourselves to stop and think about the choices we make and how they affect others.

*the fact that we love ourselves enough to share our feelings without having to alter our reality.

*the fact that we are strong enough to have learned to take care of everything ourselves

*the fact that we are strong enough to make it on our own.

*the fact that we are not afraid to ask for help to get done around our homes

*the fact that we learn to enjoy the sound of pouring rain

*the fact that we are learning to care enough about ourselves to get better

*the fact that we are learning that we can get away and do nice things for ourselves

*the fact that we know to be healthy we need a good nights sleep even if that means sleeping in another room

*the fact that we know that our credit report can be rebuilt over time, when the time is right

*the fact that we have learned we are a work in progress and that is a wonderful lesson to share with our children

*the fact that life is too short and we are learning on a daily basis exactly what we need to do for ourselves to live a happy healthy life.

Mary... WOW. That is a come back which I cannot even comment on except by saying nicely said! Thank you! Linda

I got to agree with marare too. Great comeback indeed :) whoohoo  Turns negative into positive for sure. And which one would you rather live? I chose marmares post :) cdb

mare

you amaze me you are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a great share. I don't have kids so I can't relate there. But my name is on the bills so if anything where to go wrong it is my credit that would be ruin.

Sandie and Mary--

Sandie I understand exactly everything you said. Right now what is getting me the most is the debt.  It can get so overwhelming and scary!

 

Mary--think you for reminding us of the positive.  Sometimes we get bogged down with what is right in front of us and forget to look at it from another perspective---I do anyway!!!  Thanks for helping us see it in a different way!!

((((Linda)))),

Wow, I think Mary just about said it for me...lol!  Hang in there, it's the storm before the calm.  You will survive, and be stronger for it! 

Love you,

Kathi

Sandie we all feel like that sometimes I remember feeling like that when I first came into the program.

But by working my program, I have been able to think like Mary.

This program is truly amazing, it helps change your thinking and then slowly everything starts changing.

Keep Coming Back!

Much Love,

linda, i am glad you can  *write your vents*  like i do, it is the best way to discharge this crap...you just keep on letting it out...we are listening......see ya  / rosie
