Today I received a letter from my birthmom. My birthday is soon I suppose that is why. Haha. Its very wierd feeling. But, although I already know what I am in for, I have called her up and agreed to go to a birthday dinner with her and her new husband. Like I said, I already know what I am in for. But I just keep going back for more. She is a drinker and not sure if she still uses. I don't want to smear her name, because on the inside she is not so bad. But it gets confusing. I will go to my bday dinner with NO expectations. I suppose that will make things easier. Blah.

You are so smart young lady. Working your program in everyday life. No expectations is the right attitude to have. Enjoy the food at your B-day dinner. Happy early Birthday Dot. |

No expectations, that is a good thing. Just love in your heart for another person.

Thanks ladies,
I do still feel like, oh man... why am I going back to this? Almost like I am cheating my recovery, when I know how things will be. It will be super codie and super ocd and then she will be talkative from her wine. Sort of another insane cycle. But, what the heck. It is important for me to know where I came from and where I DONT want to go. And i will just leave all these presumptions at the door. I am afraid I wont be so fun and happy though, because even when I dont think about expectations they have a sneaky way of popping in. I will practice with my aunt! That should help. Plus, she is even worse so it will make my birth mom seem like a piece of cake. And then I will try to wipe my memory of all the bad past experiences and go to the dinner ready for a nice evening. Thanks again! Im trying! Hugs, dotperson |
