thanks. Just read one of my posts from summer 2011. I mentioned crazy making at 10 pm in that one too!
Things don't change. even though I hope for change.
I still don't understand the powerful grip these people can place on others. It defies all logic. Yet the grip is real.
However, my year away was good. It taught me much about myself and that I simply don't "need" a person like this. My tolerance for the behavior is very, very low. Which is not helping her! my old persona would be thrilled the only time I see the crazy making is at bed time. That is a huge difference.
The new persona asks, why should I have to continue putting up with the crazy making at bed time? And then chooses not to.
New job awaits. Probably a new place to live. And perhaps, just perhaps a new living arrangement as well. we'll see if I have the stones for it.
