Yippee! Doing better. Being on my home turf really helps. Also, the busywork of chores and other household management tasks helps to distract me from foolish choices sometimes. :) Idleness, I've found,is fodder for ALL KINDS of bad habits. I'm glad I am getting more active and being more productive. Ultimate goal, here I come! :-D!!!
Edit: I just realized today would've been my parents 33rd anniversary if they were still married. :( I am glad that my dad found a nice woman who is kind and takes care of him. He's faced a lot of hardship and personal loss, I am glad he has someone now he can be happy and have fun with.
It's probably going to take time to come to terms with my mom's illness and choices, the way a lot of what she did tore my family apart. It hit home the other day when my [older]daughter was telling me that she knew my mother didn't love me. I tried to clarify for her that I can't tell that because only G-d knows her heart, but yeah she often failed to show me that she loved me so I've generally never trusted her claim when she'd tell me, "I love you, Jacquie!" It's sobering trying to explain to my daughter what I went through as a child in a simple, humble way. She doesn't really understand, but I am glad of that because she doesn't have the experience to do so better. I'd rather she never really have to or come to know that, but it is uplifting to see and hear the compassion she has towards me for the pain I went through.
