Sometimes I just don't understand how the hell he thinks and could've misconstrued what I said so obscenly. This makes all the sense in the world...I think I may print it and ask him if it sounds familiar. He's likely to blow up at me but maybe it'll get him thinking....<br /><br />I'm really proud of you!Duckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195603673076986036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-2068647026451040742010-03-09T15:09:43.101-07:002010-03-09T15:09:43.101-07:00I've had those "aha" moments too.

I have very strong guilt, and it usually comes out as anger.<br /><br />I agree with Kori - I do think that is one of the ways our guilt comes out and it's not something to "fix" necessarily but be aware.

I think the key is kowing what you are doing/why you are doing it, then taking responsibility, just like you said. And stop beating ourselves up because no one is going to get it right, every time. And if they do, they are most likely not someone you want to hang out with anyway. :)Korihttp://seekorirant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-7144892645924881382010-03-09T10:20:52.595-07:002010-03-09T10:20:52.595-07:00Awesome stuff here!

And, like your step sister, when first confronted, responds with complete denial. Eventually, she'll apologize too. I guess we just keep having to go through this over and over until something clicks.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051174636017409935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928620456241718383.post-37235348175095610662010-03-09T10:09:58.519-07:002010-03-09T10:09:58.519-07:00I think you are right - the learning part is easy,...I think you are right - the learning part is easy, it's the opening our minds that is difficult.BigSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361972786547203371noreply@blogger.com
