Swimming against the current - PH in piecing

[Hope4us]

Ladies, Here is one thing that I said to W, which I whole heartedly believe, that I think had the greatest impact on her and my recovery also.

I was discussing a situation we had at work. One of our newer employees F'd up really bad. Screw up was reportable to a government agency. He came in my office and asked if he was going to be fired. I told him no and then said...

"Everyone makes mistakes, the true measure of a person is how they respond to those mistakes and how they learn from them. Will you ever make that mistake again?" And my guy said "NO". I said, "then we're ok".

So I came home from work that night and was telling W about it and after I'd told her what I said to my guy, she just looked at me like this light bulb had gone off in her head.

Our real challenge is to live that and not contridict that in any of our conversations with our S's so they know we truly believe it. Did they F up? YES. Are they showing they "get it"? If that answer is yes, then you'll be ok.

And if you can't and don't believe that, I'm not sure "piecing" will ever work.

Now if it happens again, it's not a mistake......
