[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 756682, member: 18958"] Dear OW I am going to work around the house for the rest of the day and will check in tonight. I want to apologize to you for how intense I get. My son is not the only person to have acted aggressively to me, in my life. Unfortunately, I have not responded as quickly and decisively as I should have, as I wish I had. Still, I tend to be cowed. And, too much I put the responsibility for boundaries in the other person, rather than acting from my own power center in the moment. For sure, I am a work in progress. I need to forgive myself. It is hard. You see, what I am saying is there is a bit of hypocrisy in my posts. In effect, I am saying [I]do as I say, and not as I do. [/I]This makes me very sad to admit, but it's the truth. (To be fair to myself I am doing better and better.) So. Please understand that when I post decisively and from a place of knowing [I]the right thing to do,[/I] I am trying to bolster that knowing and strength in myself, in the two of us, or whoever else reads this to whom it may apply.
