Expectations - Sneaky Subtle
My quick thought for today…
I develop expectations so cunningly. Without realizing it for over three weeks, the fact that my youngest son had contacted me was exciting at first, then discouraging as he spewed years of anger he’d built up without me, and finally, peacefully into the silence it is now. But something else was “going on.”
My other two children hadn’t contacted me and, without full front thought, it began to eat at me. Thank God for good friends in AA!
I had expectations that that would have happened. Unfulfilled they became pain, then anger turned inwards. Sneaky, subtle.
Today, I stand with my head held up, I am not the person I used to be despite how they feel about it!
