I do - and until I catch myself causing the problem, and correct it, I continue over, and over, and over, dealing with it. Thank Goodness I have become an old hand at it, and my problems with other people using me for a doormat have magically diminished.
I learned years ago to write things down, the one place I still do this is with any family contact. I am amazed to read about events after the fact, realizing all the lies, all the accusations, most of all I am amazed at my involment in it.
My family has learned when they see me whip out that pad, and pen to shut up.... this has worked wonders for all of us....
With pen in hand, we ALL become responsible for what we say, and ALL of us can be guilty. tee hee... I can't wait for christmas...
I wonder how excited my family is about it..... tee hee....
