Katie, part of my recovery has been coming to terms that it is arrogant for me to think that Iknow what is right for someone else, and that includes my spouse, my parents, and my children. I work with God every day on living the life that is right for me and I hope that I can live as a good example. I have lots of love and compassion for others and good knowledge and a good understanding that God/Love/Life supports and loves and IS them every bit as it is me.
yeah thats part of my problem these days is accepting people for the way that they are. I told my one friend recently I hate everyone why? becasue no ones perfect and i immediatly zoom in on there flaw and decide screw them there not good enough for me. Yet I remain tolerant of others so he immediatly responded hey thats great He said he must be perfect then since i put up with him lol. strange how it works i guess.
