Counseling Session #5

I don't know how long I will do counseling...or how long I will blog about my sessions, but for now, I want to see the progress and keep myself motivated with moving through this gut wrenching project.

Today I learned:

• Nothing wrong with setting pretty strict boundaries.  Jesus did.  
• My counselor was very proud of how I responded to my Mom, truthful but not hateful.  She was amazed at my guts in the text messages last week, especially two parts.  One, to tell my Mom I love her.  Two, to list all the items I listed that occurred in my childhood and confront her with this.  She loves that I share God's Word with her without quoting scripture.
