Things I’ve learned

Feb 6, 2012 by Peggy Nolan

• Find your breathing space
• Remember, you have a life
• Take care of you first
• Self-care isn’t selfish – it’s mandatory
• Treat yourself how you want others to treat you
• When you put yourself last, everyone else will, too
• Don’t worry about what his ex thinks of you – it’s none of your business
• Don’t worry about what you think others are thinking about you because the truth is, they most likely aren’t thinking about you because they are too worried thinking about what they think others are thinking about them.
  It’s not the responsibility of other people to enforce or respect your boundaries – It’s yours
  Stop expecting the ex to think the same way you do. She doesn’t. If she did, your husband may very well still be married to her.
• Resentment is a relationship killer.
• Ditto hostility, rage, anger, bitterness, and Jealousy
• If you’re minding the other mother’s business, who’s minding yours?
