Old patterns sneak in
Just when I thought the day was going along well. Spent the day with the kids, and A was fishing. Made the dinner, and A came in announced he had already eaten, and mentioned that he had won a fishing contest several hours earlier, but didn't bother to call and share the news with us. This is silly, but my feelings were hurt because he didn't share the news with us only his buddies, and all he could say was "I'm sorry". That wasn't enough for me, but I am not sure what I wanted from him, and I continued with my hurt mood, and he just sat on the couch and fell asleep, so I came here to vent. I find myself falling into old patterns today as I deal with these hurt feelings. I seem to expect him to make me feel better, and I know that's not possible. How do we deal with these old patterns before they creep in. I feel like I'm falling into a deep dark hole. Kell
