How far I come
Permalink  

When I first came into these rooms I felt alone and frighten. I didn't think there was a person in this world that could help me. I thought I was in a gaint mess and it was sinking very fast.


I would be upset and start throwing stuff, glass, cutting my arm and so far. I would call him so much I thought my phone would explode.


Well thank goodness times have change. I am getting so far better at not calling him alot but of course I do still call him. I haven't really lost my tempter voilet in a while now which is good. This time I know that he is back drinking I have friends to help me through it.


I know some day i will be able to make the decision that is right for me but that it is going to take time. I have to work on being detached before I can decide whether to leave or stay.

Hi,


Hey last year when I went to jail for throwing a phone at my A, I voluntarily took an Anger Management course, and then the courts sent me to Domestic Violence Counseling for a year....let me tell you, I have learned the best tools.....I have found stuff online also....I learned that when I think I'm angry sometimes I am not acknowledging what feelings I am really having....like I may be tired, frustrated, hurt, or lonely, but I only expressed it as anger.  I also learned that some behaviors we have are learned and we can unlearn them....you sound like you are doing so good, I am finding it all takes time and to be gentle with the process...you should be very very proud of yourself!!!!!


Hugs Mary
