so my ah just woke up hung over. I was expecting it. I had a nice morning with my kids. I was prepared to detatch from it. I did my readings. Made a phone call. I was READY. Then I heard his stuffy voice and smelled the air in the bedroom and all my empathy and understanding just went out the window. sigh. Thanks for listening and I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.
And today I'll be going to my In-laws where everyone but me will be drinking. I am really having a hard time climbing back uphill right now. It is amazing to me how much work it takes to undo my old behavior. ok, I am not giving up or into this. I have a lot to be grateful for and I am going to enjoy my day starting RIGHT NOW. I am extremely gratful for MIP. It and all of you have become an essential part of my recovery. Thank you on this Thanksgiving!
Hi danni ~ Sorry to hear about your struggles this morning. Wishing you lots of strength, patience and compassion this afternoon and I'm impressed by your determination and willingness to keep trying. This could be one of those days to take things one moment at a time, and I hope you do enjoy your day :)
This too will pass Danni...I got my literature out and read the pages on frustration and patience especially and I'm good for now and I don't live within the disease any longer however when was my problem and the solution always about someone else? Happy Thanksgiving and don't leave home without your HP and your program. ((((hugs))))
Hi Danni...My morning started out exactly like yours....I, too, was expecting it.. The plan for the day was to have my family eat here, and then go to AH sisters house to eat with his family. I got early and started cooking...He walked out into the kitchen for tylenol, opened the fridge and complained that there was bacon defrosted....I am finding that he complains A LOT about food...lol....He went back to bed...My folks came over and we had a great dinner while my husband slept....We had a great time..So, after everyone was gone, my son and I went to his sisters house without him. I asked if he was coming...he didn't want to....We went there and also had a good time...And my husband is still in bed...His loss, not ours...
And the greatest part of this day was that my 7 year old made me a Thanksgiving card...It was so precious...Misspelled words and all...I will keep that card forever...
