The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I took a break from focusing on my work with recovering abf and focused on my kids. Was good, worked on boundaries with teenage boy who thinks he's man of the house, and I listened to some requests he had and agreed - but we did have one short blow out first. Learning!
Then made both teen boys draw up their own agreement / rule set to end arguments over sharing video games and they are on notice I will sell it if the arguments continue (they already know I mean what I say :)
Youngest and I worked through some of his anger management issues (has a father with the same) and he did pretty well.
And I read my books, hung up a new tv in my room and was pretty proud of myself LOL.
Sometimes you have to take a break from focusing on one thing too much!
It is truly soooo easy to become way to focused and driven in any one arena. What a great way to spend the day!! I love moments like that with the kids!
Hugs P :)
