She was pleased to hear about the last few weeks, and to know I was taking a stand and making my voice heard. I had a break through while sitting there. I realized the kids were feeding off our anger at each other, causing them to be stressed and acting out in anger. Now that we are getting along, and Loghead is supporting me, things are balanced. WE are happy, and treating each other with kindness and respect. The kids are seeing that, and are acting the same in return as well.

When I first started almost 2 years ago, I went two times a month. For the last year, I have gone every 5 weeks.

Today, she told me to stay home and save my money. She told me to continue journaling, and to focus on my happiness first. She said to call when I need to vent, but that she thought it really sounded like because of my progress, everyone else in the house has grown as well.

Yeah, me!
