‘You have a problem with confrontation’ ( a psych nurse)
‘You have not confronted the most important person yet - yourself’ (My counsellor)
Yikes….my body is wracked with fear and anguish. My experience of confrontation is negative….scary…frightening. Confrontation means I will upset someone, rock the boat, stand up for myself (and I always seem to fail at that). The last person I want to upset is me. I have already rocked my boat by giving up on my marriage….so what exactly does [...]

Posted in Depression, Dragonslaying, anger, creating amazing, emotional well being, ex husband, learning, men, mental health, mother, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, separation, women on July 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »

When I was a child I was not allowed to express my anger at what I perceived to be injustice or unfairness. If I did, I was accused of being ungrateful. I had to be ‘good’ and it was somehow my fault if I was bad and I was never able to day something or [...]

Well this is not about my relationship with the ex for a change! This is about me, you and everyone else! I am rather chuffed to say that I have been noted for responding to a clip of a scene performed by Sydney Poitier noting how it reflects what we are capable of if we [...]

A Chameleon is a changeable, fickle, or inconstant person. That’ my ex.

Well what can I say to start this off? I am separated but connected. Connected by the mortgage document my ex and myself signed a number of years ago. And darn it we have still not sold the house! It has been 3 months, we’ve lowered the price but until it sells neither of us [...]

What’s good for the kids?

Ok..I have a life long problem…I am not good at saying ‘no’. It’s a simple word. I can do it well in the classroom when I have to, and sometimes I have no choice but to say ‘no’ because it costs too much and is not in the budget – but that’s not the kind of [...]
