Just to let everyone know I'm doing well. It's amazing what a dose of manipulation will do to you. I'm very sensitive to it after 16 years with my ex and I can spot it in a sec. So I was pretty freakin' angry this morning when I read L's message. Actually I was surprised she wrote back, but I guess she couldn't have it on her shoulders so she tried to dump it back on me. Well hell I feel better than I have all week.
Pulled myself out of the muck last night after I did a arthritis presentation to a diabetes support group. I've done the talk before with everyone very happy with it. I was really surprised that it was pretty quiet last night with no questions. It made me feel uncomfortable for a while until I cut them out of the equation. I knew I did the best job I could and I believed it was a good one. With that attitude and perspective I felt better. The funny thing is that I had a new patient come in this morning and another worker in the place was at the talk last night. Small world.

I'm sorry you still feel angry & and are not open to another perspective or possibility. I'm not saying she handled it the best way but like I said we are all human. None of us do things always the best way & I guess I figure if I want people to give me a break at times I better give them a break...sometimes we are the hardest on the one's we care about the most because they are the ones who can hurt us the most.
You sound angry and I don't blame you!! I know you will be just fine.

happy that your work thing went good. I know you did the best job you can. Now me being a woman, I don't recall ever telling a guy I needed a break. If I want to be with someone then I'm with them. I mean maybe she's different in her thinking who knows. Just good luck with all this.
good that you bounced back from that email, it means you're (becoming) stronger.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Gem :-)
