Good Morning all-- I hope all are doing well. I've been busy-- work has picked up so I'm working a lot of O/T. The kids are in full swing with school ( parent teacher conferences are today) and Jer is working a lot as well. The holidays are upon us--- we have many activities and family get together planned. I'm exhausted just thinking about it all.
We did take a family trip-- we went to a cranberry farm. It was a lot of fun for all of us.
Jerry and I are making progress with our relationship-- baby stepping it all the way. He stopped feeling sorry for himself and started looking him side himself for the reason why. I feel this is half the battle. He also stopped trying to make me feel sorry for him. I don't want to and won't go down the path of wallowing in self pity--if that is where he intended to dwell he would do so with me. I've had enough of anger and sadness. We have found that a slight signal works a great deal better than speaking when he starts the woe is me routine-- I tap the tip of my nose- he shuts up-- begins again in a different tone. And no I am not silencing him-- I am simply telling him that I am not there to pat him on the head and say it's alright. Because it is not alright to make excuses for bad behavior. You admit when you've done wrong and work to make it right.
Anyway==I just wanted to drop in and share how things are going.
I wish you all peace and connection on your journeys.
Libby

Libby,
Just checking in. Wow! It seems like things are looking a bit brighter on the screaming warpath. It's great that your husband seems to be coming to his senses and you two are finding some common ground. I'm sending you and your family as many positive thoughts as I possibly can.

Peace,

Wow! Libby! What a useful tool: I'll send the royalty check to you as I fully intend to steal this idea. I hope you're doing well? J

Good Afternoon to all. So much has been going on I don't know where to start. Thanksgiving was a very happy holiday for my family, we have much to be Thankful for this year. My Mother was in an auto accident the weekend before, she is healing well at home- her car was a complete lose. A woman ran a red light- slammed into her drivers side and sent my Mom spinning threw a busy intersection. When I got the call from my Dad my world collapsed. I raced to the hospital with my heart in my throat the whole way. It's amazing how your world can center and right itself with just a touch and mine did. I pushed my way into the emergency room- racing down corridors until I reached my Mother. She looked so frail and small laying there but she was spitting mad and her grip was strong when I reached for her hand. My Mother hates Doctors with a passion so she was giving them hell, lol. I knew all would be well when she told the Doc. that if he didn't take his hands off her she would rip it off of him. She was upset that the police officers on seen sent her to the hospital, she wanted to stomp the woman who hit her, she still swears that she will kick the tow truck drivers ass for calling my Dad and scaring him (The tow company is owned by a family of friends) As some of you know my Father is a truck driver, he was on the road when it happened. I don't know where I get my temper from, LOL. Mom had a concussion, minor lacerations, a jammed shoulder and lots of bruising. Minor injuries when you think about what could have been.
DH and I are moving closer to healing with every day that passes. Our little family is recovering from our own trauma nicely with hopefully little scarring.
I hope this greeting and update finds all of you well and happy. Wishing you all peace and connection.
Libby
