I finally felt like I was a grown-up when I turned 30-
I stopped letting my family suck all of my mental and physical energy from me. (extended, not immediate). My mother and grandfather are feuding and my GF "disowned" her- it has been over 2 years now. It was hard to separate myself since I am very close to both parties and live within a mile of each. BUT- I told them I DID NOT want to discuss the situation with either of them. Put them in shock a bit since I have always been the self-deemed "peacemaker" and "fixer". I just realized that if they choose to hate each other and be stubborn and not take any blame, they can live with the results- PBLLLTHTTHT (raspberries) howz that for grown-up?
Mom says I've gotten nasty- HEE HEE - that makes me happy to hear. OH yeah- we are planning to move within the next year. Don't get me wrong, I love them all fiercely, I just want to go far enough away so they cannot damage my girls on a daily basis!
I also found a hidden self-confidence and self-esteem~
I LOVED turning 30- wonder how fun 40 will be??

Thanks for the therapy.
