well, christmas has came and went...... This year my mother came to visit. I have not seen my mother in 6 years. For the most part things went well; however, some things never change. My mom tells me shes working on ex- husband # 7, and already has a boyfriend(who by the way is 22 years younger than her) gotta love my dysfunctional family. In my recovery i have learned that i am a slow processer so that being said, this visit has brought back a lot of old memories. so hello step 4.......lol. I know i can only be accountable for my behavior so at this point i say the serenity prayer a lot. since my mother doesn't understand that confrontation isn't always a bad thing, i decided not to do too much of it for the sake of my children. My mom is a bit over dramatic so with her its best to let sleeping dogs lie.....but i have an awesome support group and my best friend in recovery came over after she left and helped me through it....gotta love friends in the program...
