Re: Hugs for Finelly
Smoochies and hugs right back atcha!
It's mid-afternoon here on Thursday. We had a marathon coffee talk with my mom this morning and into the afternoon. I'm absolutely emotionally exhausted but I held my own and dh didn't let her get too crazy. We set some very clear boundaries about the kids and she understands that they don't want to talk to her.
She is just incredibly difficult and disturbed, and has been my whole life. I am dreading the next few days - she doesn't leave until Monday night. My ex arrives tomorrow and will take over "entertaining her" (ie, letting himself be subjected to psychoanalysis and told every single thing wrong with him and how to change it) for the rest of the day. We'll deal with Sat and Sun and Mon after that. One hour at a time.......
I'm feeling a lot of anxiety still, the kind where your throat closes up and you can't eat, but I'm forcing myself to have a little something every hour or so. I may go under the calories this weekend, but at least I'm eating something.
No temptation to cheat. I want soft foods, but that's easy to do with cauliflower and eggs and such. I'm trying to drink large quantities of water, too.
Mostly, I'm just trying to keep from losing it completely and just stay as positive as I can. I hate that she has this power over me and I have some mantras that I repeat over and over to get some sanity into my tired brain!
Your support, on these posts and in pms, is absolutely wonderful. I cannot tell you how moving it is and how cherished I feel. DON'T STOP!!!!!!! I need you guys!
