[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 325799, member: 65"] I had a good friend give me some advice that helps. It was to set aside a certain time to dwell, think, rant about issues in my life and when the time was up it was up. Put it aside and get on with life until the next appointed time. I use my 30 minute drive time to and from work to vent. I say all those things I wish I could say in real life. I let out that primal scream that builds up...and does it feel good to scream bloody murder once in a while. I let the pain out. And during daylight hours, with a blue tooth in my ear, people driving past me think I'm on the phone. (I only scream when it is dark out) I have had some amazing ah-ha moments during this time. Sometimes its a "oh, is that what I'm really feeling?"... or it's seeing things from a different angle. It was during my drive time that I realized that I don't want to go to mother in law's (EGs) on Christmas Eve, but I really don't mind if husband does. And I use this time for more than just difficult child issues. Dealt with husband issues, work issues, new boss drama, rude people, all of those things I would otherwise stuff. I call it my "old-faithful" time. I regularly let off the steam so that I don't have the Mt. Vesuvius momements of life. [/QUOTE]
