I saw your blog link on She Became a Butterfly’s blog and I just had to say that this really touched me. I would like to read more. This is the kind of stuff I need right now, at such a difficult time in my life.

No one remain stagnant, we are changing every moment. The important thing is that we change for the better and in this we have a choice.

That’s the tough part. They don’t have to change. It just doesn’t work anymore, or at least not in the same way, if they don’t. I’m sorry about your relationship but agree 100% that being true to yourself if the most important thing.

the #1 thing i learned in counseling is that when 1 person changes, everyone around them must change. unfortunately, i lost my 6-year relationship over it. BUT i am happier with ME and that is the most important.

It’s a very hard thing you do. I admire you seeing what needs to happen and acting on it. Change is hard for everyone involved, there is a trickle down affect to kids who have to figure out the new dynamics as well. New life choices mean new consequences both good and bad. If you’re able to stand firm with this you’re relationships have the potential to be so much stronger. It’s hard to understand a person being unable to receive criticism from someone who loves them and wants the best for them….until you are the one on the receiving end. In the end you being able to discuss what you think are bad decisions on your loved ones part as well as hear about your own will make you a stronger person. You’ll also create a great example for your kids. If you keep ignoring things, that will also teach your kids. Some people have a very hard time confusing loving criticism with being critical.

Absolutely, we wouldn’t be who we are today without everything that came before.
