Positive Assertiveness.

Well, my new approach will soon be put to the test. I have a relative who is on the outs and will probably be wanting a free hand-out. I must resist the emotional blackmail. I am also going to try not to alienate the relative. I love(d) my Mother and I know that she would not want the family to split. But, my Mother was an enabler, as I am. I need to break that pattern.

The health of my family depends on the way I handle the next month of my life. I need to be on top of things. I have become the family nurse-maid. As nurturing and sweet as that sounds, I have become a victim. Only I can free myself.
