im very proud of myself. my a tried to manipulate me into staying here for the night. i almost caved in but then stood my ground. also did not get angry. everytime i spoke with him i remained calm. i feel wonderful.

I am proud of you too. I hope that you were able to get some sleep tonight. Keep up the great work and taking care of you, ((((notsonew))))) Lynn

YAY - you have your own personal cheerleader!!!

My boyfriend can manipulate me in an instant.  Learning to detach myself has been tremendously helpful. I am not there yet but I make every day about me not obsessing or trying to control him.
