[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 636387, member: 18284"] GM --- I agree that you have the power to change your scenario. And I mean that in a VERY empowering way for you! You are smart, caring, compassionate and stronger than you may think. You can do this. You deserve this. And it's very true that adults and their parents will probably not do well together, in general. It's not only for your benefit to have her living apart, it's also to HER benefit. Lies ---- Well, in general principle, I think lies only make matters worse. But I'd be a total hypocrite to say that I've never lied. I have. And, on rare occasion, perhaps it staved off a crisis. However, I just always felt awful inside afterwards. I'm not built well to lie. I'm bad at it and even if it staves off a crisis, it winds up hurting ME. Now, I may not choose to tell EVERY truth I know to someone.....I may carefully word factual matters. However, being truthful just seems to help everyone in the long run --- even if it's tough in the short run. Crystal clear boundaries help everyone. GM -- I send you best wishes because I have really enjoyed your heart and your humor in your posts in this forum! You deserve peace in your home life! (and YOUR rentals are a part of YOUR home life!) *** Pardon the CAPS..... just emphasis there. :) Take care! [/QUOTE]
