I survived the graduation trip!

Hey everyone! So backstory here: http://www.steptalk.org/node/217765 Basically, I was freaking out over having to deal with my parents during my son's graduation.

The bottom line is this: I stuck to my plans with my son and did not allow ANYONE to make either one of us feel guilty for not going along with *their* plans. Things could not have gone better and my mother now has a very clear understanding of how our relationship is going to work. I didn't engage in any of her shit-talking or guilt-tripping and I actually enjoyed myself.

Just wanted to give an update since I was so OMGOMGOMG before I left, thanks for reading!

Thanks! It's funny when I think about it because I am a pretty articulate, outspoken girl, but with my mom I finally just gave up and allowed her to be in control rather than fight. No more! Also being two time zones away helps lol
