This reminded me so much of those days of "I'll show him" Since you really can't wop them upside the head - then I'll make everyone miserable with my negativity, anger and stubborn silence.
Today, I know that regardless of my emotions or feelings about the A's actions, I can be happy, joyous and free. I will have sad days, days when I feel angry, upset and lonely. But I don't have to let that rule my entire life or household.
Doesn't mean I don't use the tools of the program to process my emotions, but I just don't use those emotions to "get" at anybody.
Great share, Cindi - glad you are able to do what is best for you to help you live your life regardless of his actions.
