Hello,
About spanking, well, I had times I didn't know what to do when my guys were younger, I have yelled, and have spanked them , just to make them stop fighting. Now they laugh how ineffective I was, and how it didn't hurt.So those are my sins regarding that issue, and I knew the difference not to be emotionally and what I consider physically abusive.
Dolly, it is amazing how the N game goes, I guess I needed to "ripen" more before I went NC, 2 years ago. I think flowers incident happen as I was going through my own marriage breakdown, and I didn't have all the info necessary to sort sort all out. But, boy as she got older, she became more careless and started to give away her " bag of tricks".
That was mean , Had enough, that your NM almost made you loose a job. What I found very disturbing that my NM, had actually talked badly about me during a period I was there for her and my father, helping them financially, driving them, giving them all kinds of stuff. My mother had made those comments how she felt sorry for me that I got divorced ( I wasn't) how sorry she was for me to have to take care of all the men in the house ( I wasn't) and all those animals ( I wasn't), so she had a great pity party going around. There was more, but let me tell you, now that I am gone, it is pure rage, stories change by the minute.
Oh, and now she stops and talk to my XH , as they are joint in same cause,BOTH are out of my life, and both get no attention.
Take care, Zlata |
