A post to share my thankfulness for my Al-anon program. Today would have been a difficult day with my AH. I would have been angry, seething and acted like an insane person.
As it was I acted and thought in my Al-anon way and it was a pleasant day. A brief moment of me starting to feel annoyed. Which I realised immediately and removed myself for a little while from the situation. I considered how important was it? It wasn't! It was ME nit picking.
I didn't smother and try and control AH at all. Whilst wrapping it up pretending I was looking out for his welfare. I acted like an adult and felt very good about it. Let me be me, and AH be himself. Husband and wife, not mum and son.
Felt good. No anxiety. I love that I am so much calmer. I don't gush with falseness any more trying to pretend every thing is wonderful.
It is what it is. Reality. I like living in reality very much. Even the so-called bad parts are way better than living in a haze of denial. Wasting my life.
Happy to hear about your day and your progress, too.
