Title: Had a calmer response Post by: wantmorepeace on August 15, 2026, 12:37:35 PM My daughter tried to email something conciliatory but true to my swupbd. My sister responded angrily to her and cc'ed me, violating (not surprisingly) the boundary I had established, i.e., that I don't want to be involved in their conflict.
The surprising part was how calmly I reacted. I had a brief moment of "What now?" but the intensity of the emotional tweak was much less than it has been in similar situations in the past. It also came down quickly. I didn't even notice at first and when I did I was so surprised. My T, reading, "talking" to you all and reading your stories, etc. are helping. I am truly grateful. I'm not responding. I'm sad but fine. |
