Why was I so mean yesterday? A grouch! PMS! or something!
When I first read "Bonds That Make Us Free", I thought the very first chapter was kind of strange. Why was the author so upset with himself? He was so justified in his feelings towards his son. I even thought he managed his tongue well. What did he do so wrong? But after I read the whole book, I read that chapter again. I could see what he meant, that he had made his own son, that boy he loved so much, his enemy in his heart. I sure did that yesterday. I know why they say you're in a box regarding certain people; you feel cut off from who they really are, and who you really are.
I'm sorry I veiwed them all as enemies yesterday. (and I can't even say I managed my tongue well)
I'm glad there is a new day to start again.
This blog spot is dedicated to parenting. I will from time to time post reminders from the great things I've learned from Love & Logic and Anasazi/Arbinger principles. I would love others to post thoughts, advice, experiences, etc. so that we could all benefit in this great adventure where we became mommies and daddies. Parenting therapy is what has helped me to "hang in there", and hopefully it will help others.
