My side of the street


AH is getting used to my recovery-minded ways. I realized he comes to me asking permission for things. In the past I judged him and got angry when he made choices for himself - even little things like choosing to buy new clothes, or taking a nap instead of going for a walk with me. I'm learning to let it go, let him make his own choices and stay on my side of the street. And he's figuring out how to make his choices without my controlling way of reacting or dictating. It still feels funny, watching his actions, checking my reactions and letting go of my illusions of control. Reminds me of bright green new spring growth.

 

I am seeing how I have changed and how these changes are shifting things in my relationships with AH
