So the ex ABF contacted me, thought those days were gone. Anyhow, he tried so very hard to push my buttons with tall tales of women and fun in his life while bitterly taking stabs at me for not wanting to be with him. I responded with compassion, tack and even empathy. He sure does not know how to take that, its was far from my verbally abusive outbursts of the past. His words hurt, I'm human, but I am sooooooooo very proud of myself for keeping my composure and dignity in tack. I find i have to take my days one moment at a time and go to as many meetings I can to keep it up. My HP's guidance is all around me!!
One of the teachings my wise old sponsor used to drill into me, was to "behave in such a way that I would like who I saw in the mirror - even towards my A"
I think you're liking who you are seeing in the mirror right now, and that is wonderful stuff
