I get really hostile when ANYONE tries to tell me what to do. I would have been furious is someone wanted to go through my clothes, even my own mother. I'll deal with it when I deal with it, thank you very much, now back the hell up. <br /><br />But that may just be me...<br /><br />It's the source of many of my conflicts with my husband, we're both the oldest kid. So neither of us understand why the other questions what we suggest or refuses to listen.OTRgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433339525588500502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-22602836957889316752011-04-04T13:53:11.422-04:002011-04-04T13:53:11.422-04:00One of the things having children gave me was the ...One of the things having children gave me was the ability to let go-I had no choice but to cede control and run with things to a degree.<br /><br />It was the best thing to ever happen to me. <br /><br />Am I still needing to always be in control, always strong, always better? Generally yes. But letting go let me realize that sometimes, relying on someone else, letting them help-that it was a strength too.<br /><br />You're a good mama bear. Time will help, but I think at the core, when events steal things from us, make us helpless to outside influences, we lock down and control what we can, especially the things we love.<br /><br />Enjoy your shrinking. :)thordorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162106158955358865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-71767950989452056272011-04-04T10:35:44.936-04:002011-04-04T10:35:44.936-04:00The key is to see a shrink that you like and feel ...The key is to see a shrink that you like and feel compatible with.<br />Not all shrinks are alike (personality wise) nor do they all work alike. <br />gmgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-35021502174503368852011-04-04T09:56:14.062-04:002011-04-04T09:56:14.062-04:00YAY - your back - i dont know if i was having a pr...YAY - your back - i dont know if i was having a problem with my browser or something but i last got a post from you ages and ages ago. im so glad your feeling better (maybe not hundreds but at least its a start) Been great 'catching up' with you have a great week.Mizasiwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998671877747912475noreply@blogger.com
