Changes

Since the last post there have been some serious changes in our home. I know that with God's help I am stronger but for me trick is to stay strong. We are in family counsoling which has been beneficial to me and Tom. Brianna, on the other hand isn't agreeing with any of it. Here's where my work begins. We ave always given in to her tantrums and this has been our biggest mistake. Her idea of these changes are like flipping a pancake!!! But we always ler know what has to change and we ask how she feels about it. You guessed it--she doesn't like it one bit. I can see how she is confused between what has to happen and what is going to happen.


I have cleaned out her room and bathroom and these rooms are now in my charge. I'm not asking for her to do her share of chores anymore. If I have to clean it then I will throw away whatever I want. thing. I'm throwing away most of her shirts and I'm going shopping to buy her clothes. She's aready feeling the pinch of consequences and how they are affecting her social life. When I read Dr. Phil's list of "Hot Warning Signs" well lets just say, I was astounded, scared and down right mad! What have I done? I've prayed and prayed and have seen the signs God has given me. I will go with my heart and be the parent He wants me to be............


By the way.....the quote for today is: I'm not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm sorry you are going through this, but the counseling sounds like a good thing. I'll keep praying for your guys. I love the quote!
