Sorry, but didn't you just file a D petition against me? It is simply mind boggling that she would think we would all stay at her parents or that we would take a trip together as a family.
Am I overreacting or is this as crazy as I think it is?
It's a pretty clear sign that she doesn't get the full picture of what a D family looks like. That is why I think you need to give her that picture now. No contacts, no trips together, etc.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
Good morning all. I think I need to do something for myself today. I haven't done that in a while, and I could use a pick me up.
I started my day with what is probably my favorite poem (and I don't even like poetry). I have posted it before, but I thought I would post it here today since it always has a strengthening affect upon me:
If
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
It's easy to grin when your ship comes in, you got the world at your feet and the stock market beat but the man worthwhile is the man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat.
M22,H45,W45 S21/18D12 Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Hi GIMA. Thanks for posting that. What a great lesson it teaches!
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
