Just had to share that I'm feeling very proud of myself for making it through long drawn out phone call with family member about family member without necking a bottle of wine to drown out the " Please grow up and sort this out yourself" irritation. 2 cups of tea and large coffee later.

Well good on you Mojo!! Deffo would be a trigger I guess - luckily I've fallen out with all my family so nobody rings me about nobody:H:H

I totally understand the "energy drainers," the family members who still think you're the strong one. Good job in not getting sucked into the vortex.mojo73;966795 wrote: Just had to share that I'm feeling very proud of myself for making it through long drawn out phone call with family member about family member without necking a bottle of wine to drown out the " Please grow up and sort this out yourself" irritation. 2 cups of tea and large coffee later.:h Mish :h

My former therapist calls them sh*t babies. Hug them, you get sh*t on you. Push them away, sh*t on both hands. Slap them, sh*t goes flying all over the place. My aunt once called on behalf of my brother, who told her to tell me my mother would kill herself if I didn't take care of her. I had to jot down a little graph just to keep it all straight.
But you didn't use it as an excuse to drink, Mojo (as I recall, I sure did). I'm pleased with you, too!:wd:AF since July 15, 2010. :applouse:

Nice job, Mojo! I, personally, do not have alot of drama in my family but have friends with lots of it! I know phone calls like that drive them crazy and it's a huge trigger for popping a beer or pouring another drink to 'settle their nerves' trying to deal with it.
Well done - Congratulations!John

That's really made me laugh. Thanks guys. It's really good to get a response and support for these outwardly small things.https://www.mywayout.org/community/im...milies/hug.gifComment
