[QUOTE="seek, post: 717115, member: 22002"] [B]Not a good day. I had a mini-melt down. I was in a bad space, emotionally - worried, angry, you name it - I realize I have no control over my grandson - I was triggered by about ten things I heard about in five minutes - was unable to stop myself from reacting (just mainly irritated). When someone is new in recovery, everything is 100% about them - there is no room for you or your feelings . . . I know this yet, I could not control the feelings I was emitting, basically. I know from experience it's best to have a plan, and we had no plan - he sent me a message and I responded, and did not want to respond - that is my fear - and also hopefulness. It was a very unpleasant experience for both of us. I felt terrible that I was not better able to handle the situation. Right now I am drinking tea and trying to let it go. I apologized for "my part," and will process what triggered me with my therapist. Did not see this one coming. [/B] [B]So many feelings to process.[/B] [/QUOTE]
