Just thinking

Comment Published at 14:4214:4228 comments28 comments142 Visits142 VisitsReport
Forgive my meandering thoughts but I needed to log my thoughts somewhere
Its probably boring, so no need to read on
But this is how I work through things in my mind!!!!

1) Reminder, I wasn't born a push over !
My brothers say they were more scared of me than our parents!!!!
So what's happened

2) I don't argue back with x
My reason I just want an easy life
My best mate told me at the weekend, i am kidding myself as this is not an EASY LIFE
But I could change it

3) I need to start controlling when x sees Daniel, let Daniel have his say heard, not just agree to the times x dictates when he emails, make a point of changing times even by 15 to 30 minutes just so Daniel and I are in charge
I will no longer argue over his lies through a solicitor
If his allegations are ridiculous, pay no heed to them

4) Why am I so fixated by wanting one time friends to finally believe me so I can move on?
If they had ever been my real friends they would be here with me now
So why do I waste my energy on wanting their approval finally

5) When I start to feel sad, I need to stop!!!!!!
Write down my blessings, write down my problems then take a match to the list of problems and enjoy reading the blessings

6) My First Born?????
The hardest choice
Don't know what to do???
Can't let him go  but can't let him hurt me again
STALEMATE ????

6) Take note of previous 6 points
Try to keep to at least one of the above

When it looks this good on paper, then I should be putting it into practice !!!!!!!
I hope and pray that one day I will be doing all this and more
This is my goal for 2008

Re: Just thinking
Trust you to throw in a real toughie!!!!
Not a big fan of me at the moment
I hurt my kids again and I swore I would never put them through me being that messed up again. Plus I'm the one that allows these lows to take such a grip!!!!

Re: Just thinking
Hi Helen, good to see you making plans being able to plan ahead is normally the first sign of recovery.  Don't put yourself under too much pressure though we are all still here if you need to vent about anything.  I know that when I start feeling down, being positive is the hardest thing to do, I generally wait till I'm over the sad period because I know it will go eventually, and that kinda keeps me going.  I used to be a fighter and I do now feel where has that person gone I just crumble now at the slightest argument or confrontation.   I know it's easy to feel like that when you're down, and tired of all the same old things that cause you pain.  But I know there is still the fighter in me because I'm still here and it's still in you too.  Love you loads Maria xx

Re: Just thinking
Yep
That sounds exactly like me
I always back down from a confrontation or bad atmosphere
My parents have been happily married for over 40 years, they still walk down the street holding hands and its common for us to see them having a hug, yet still if they have the slightest of disagreements, no matter how small, I get tense and don't like it. i can't cope with bad vibes at all

Re: Just thinking
Hello sis, I am sooo glad to see you are still on here, plodding along, you have no idea!!!!!!! This might sound selfish, but where else was i gonna get my gossip from???? Not my darling husband thats for sure :D But honestly I do love to read your blog and your ADVICE because it is actually very helpful to me, believe it or not to hear that someone else is going through the same things you are, not that I am in any way comparing my situation to yours, but you do know what your brother is like sometimes ;) just like the fact that you are still worrying about what other people are thinking, those who used to call themselves your friends as I do that too, go around worrying about people that dont even and should not matter to me anymore! But I think that is just human nature to think that, as we all long to be accepted and loved sometimes at ANY cost! But just wanted to say its good to have you back and congrats on being nr one!!!!!!!!!! Hope all is ok with you all, give our love to everyone xxxx

Re: Just thinking
Hey sis !!!!
thankyou so much for listening to me the other night on the phone, I was in a state wasn't I !!!!! I don't think I even gave you the chance to talk but what you did say was what I needed to hear so it was sooo helpful.
I just emailed my bro, I guess he has been reading my blogs too and was concerned bless him!!!
I hope you know just how excited we are to be coming over to Iceland in a couple of weeks, it is going to be awesome, we all need a break and it'll be fantastic to chill and relax and enjoy being together.
lots of Love and Hugs to the best sis, bro, nephew and niece in the world

Re: Just thinking

Sounds like you have a lot to work through....maybe focusing on one issue at a time might help.  For example your x keeps changing times etc, that seems to be the most immediate issue.  i hope you can get some closer this year to these problems,  Good luck with it all

Re: Just thinking

What a great way to get it all out and deal with everything you're going through............when you write things down, or in this case type it, it all seems so much clearer. And it's always great when you have a friend who is always going to be 100% honest with you, even if you don't always like what you hear.........

Much love......Amanda xxxxx

And thats true friendship isn't it
accepting and listening to an opposing view of yours simply because you know they only want what is best for you

Re: Just thinking
That's an awesome start Helen. No matter what you will achieve what you need to for 2008. Just take it nice and slow.... don't apply that famous pressure on yourself to achieve it all. You will get there.... wherever there maybe. Nobody can tell you where "there" is...... only you know.

Can't wait to see what this year has installed for you.

love you always,

fi and miss g xoxoxxo

Re: Just thinking
Ah there lies the difference..... you are no longer fighting to survive, you're fighting for what you deserve....... peace, joy and happiness. Some people give up and just accept the situation but not you my dear and more power to you. You can and will do this........... it is in there just waiting for you to grab hold of and run with.

love you always,

fi and miss g xxooxxo

Re: Just thinking

I'm proud of you, sweetie.  You're really rising above the situation and making a fresh start.

You are not a pushover.  You never could have escaped -x if you were a pushover. 

It sounds like you just need to practice a change of focus.  Focus on your true friends, not on your false old friends.  Focus on the good things with your kids and not the bad things.  Focus on building your new life, and don't dwell on your old one. 

I have total confidence in you that you're getting it all together again and everytime you're reaching further than you have before and making your life - and those of the people you love - better than they were before.

You go girl!!!  Love you lots,

Leith

My long term mate made me think differently the other day when she was urging me to fight back, I kept telling her its easier to agree with everything, I don't like confrontation I can't cope with a bad atmosphere either, so I go with the flow for an easy life........she laughed and said there is no way I was living an easy life. Its made me think so I realise I do have to be more forceful to get the easy life I want, my nature is that of being laid back, I am a watcher not so much of a participator

Re: Just thinking
That sounds like a very good plan.  You are working it all through, and finding what you want in life and making a game plan.  Keep it up and keep being positive

Give unconditional love to your oldest boy, open lines of communication and be there for him when he does decide to come back.

Chin up, 2008 is going to be a great year for you.

Re: Just thinking
Sounds like a very nice set of goals for 2008.  You know this year is the year for prosperity!  What you looked for in 2007 you will receive in 2008!  Have faith and remember, no matter how small or how quite your prays may be they are heard loud and clear.  God has a great many things planned for you this year, just reach out your hand and claim them as your own.  Something my MIL told me is to take your wishes and make them into a petition to God.  When you petition God he will take those prayers and make them so.  Love ya and hope you are having a great new year!!!!

Re: Just thinking

This is great Helen, you have starting point....print this out and have a copy on your fridge and one in front you when your on the computer & phone, especially the phone, if it has anything to do with the X. 

7) if i could, give you the power for positive thinking....then stand tall and proud, like the wonderful woman you are. Positive thinking to help get you through the bad days and also to help with not taking any rubbish from the X. Sweetie as soon as you feel those bad thoughts coming on get on here and yell for one of us, to help get you through it. Sending you the most powerful vibes i can muster with a mixture of hugs & love thrown in.

Janice xxxxx

Its like getting caught in a whirlpool going around the sink when I hit those bad times, I kind of give up thinking that there is no way I'm not going down the plug so stop swimming!!!!!
