Hello Monica, so nice to see you get spoiled a little. Your son sounds like a pretty intelligent lovely young man. I totally agree with IDI, take credit for it 🙂
I am once again reading your post three or four days behind! I feel as though even on GT I am always playing catch up. And therefore when i get my two cents in (because that’s just me, one of my character flaws i feel, that i feel nothing is complete without my input!) I may be inflaming a conversation that had worked its course and was settling down!
Happy Belated Birthday! I think I was early too, but never right on time haha. I too am a bad receiver and had to rethink that! I complain when people don’t do things for me but I’m the first to tell them to stop when they are because it makes me feel uncomfortable to receive instead of give. I’ve been with my husband for nearly three decades. I think in a lot of ways I was responsible for letting him get off with behaviours. I try to remember boundaries. And that I am the one that needs to set those for myself. If I leave it up to others there will always be people willing to encroach for their own benefit!
One of the recovery B words I call them. Boundaries, Barriers, Balance.
So have a great day beautiful! And now a nice weekend to look forward too as well.
((( Monica )))
