A week to bring my A game

[Family Court Strategies: When Your Partner Has BPD OR NPD Traits.]

So...I may not be around much this coming week.  FFw and I are going to visit family for a couple days and then a couple days of a "retreat" at a remote country house.  Just us.

Best,

FF

Good for you!

My birthday is coming up, and we're going to a resort with an original building that pre-dates the Civil War. I'm going to pretend I'm rich for a few days.

How does it usually go when you isolate?

[formflier]

Usually goes pretty good. 

Being really close for a couple  of days is usually a positive.  Trying to keep that up for over a week or so...something will go down.

I did the original invite over a week or two ago.  She twisted it and got all in a snit.  I didn't bite and let things calm down. 

(somehow she was trying to prove that me inviting her meant I didn't want to go visit her family ...unless it suited me.  No..I didn't try to figure it out..)

She calmed down after a few days.  I brought up the idea again a few days ago and she loved it.

Big picture:  We she goes off the reservation..I don't chase after her.  I don't remind her of times she went off.

Best,

FF
