information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
JADE is from the list of acronyms Betty gave me. I working through the list with an alanon friend. This was today's acronym. I can't say I agree with all of them or all of it. I rarely justify or argue. But I will defend and explain myself in certain situations, and especially with an open minded person. I have no desire to verbally fight with anyone--that's a waste of my time and energy. But with friends and family who care about me and my opinions, I think it's fine to explain myself. I wonder where Betty got this list, and how long ago it was written. Unfortunately, I'll never know. :( That makes me sad, that Betty's gone, but her ideas and sharing continue to be part of my program. And that's wonderful. :)
Hi Lyne. Thank you so much for your continued service. I just finished praying for Divine help and your post is the solution I needed. I have been fighting with my hubby for weeks and I am exhausted . I am a slow learner. No matter what evidence/facts you provide , he finds ways to turn things around or manipulates facts to make me the bad guy. Anyways, I hope you are well and truly appreciate your shares.
