Setting myself up for getting hurt. Mood
Friday, August 22, 2008 | A Painful story

Sigh... I have done it yet again. I have set myself up to be hurt, critized and manipulated by my stbx... I saw it happening, yet it was if i were trapped on the inside screaming at myself "DON'T" and my body just kept going forward doing exactly what I knew I shouldn't be doing. I ignored all my warning signs, all my friends warnings and did exactly what I shouldn't have done... I have got to figure this out. Boundaries. I need to create them. But where do I start. How do I know what my boundaries are? I just let this happen, and knew it wasn't in my best interest. I have no self discipline. I need that too... Oh man I'm a mess. I have 8 self help books that I'm pouring over... titles including, Codependant no more, Claiming your Self Esteem, Defusing the high conflict DIvorce, Developing Intuition, Writing to heal the soul, and You Can't Say That to Me!, an 8 step book to help with Verbal Abuse...

 

Well, by the time I return these to the library I ought to have learned something............
