An Important Lesson

I learned an important lesson on our vacation last week. I learned that I really do not need to answer everything he says. Meaning, when he tells me something aggravating, I dont have to correct him or tell him back in kind.

Not having to respond and not trying to include him made this my easiest vacation ever.

This vacation was very nice - but he has not changed a bit. He still walked 20 feet behind us. He still didnt come down to the pool. Or go out with us at night. He rarely knew what we were talking about. But he did get angry. Apparently, we have to have eyes in the back of our heads so that when he wants to see something while walking 20 feet behind us, we have to know that and stop moving along. He was quite angry, actually.

So disassociation helps to deal with him. Though I knew that from home. But that was an important lesson.
