Good morning. I woke up at 4:00am, worrying about a meeting with a friend later today. I am needing to bring up some inappropriate behaviors that have eaten on me for over a year. I do not like conflict, but I also find I am avoiding this person. They are unaware of what their behavior is doing to our relationship. So, I couldn't sleep. I am just going to have to face the situation and plow through it. She is very unstable right now, and probably will not handle this very well. Oh brother, I hate things like this. But, it is all in my attitude in how I walk into the meeting and conduct myself. Sometimes, I feel my emotions are immature. I have only had 20 years in dealing with appropriate actions on my part, and 5 of those being in Borderline recovery. Not much practice. What's the worst that can happen? They or I walk out in anger. The best outcome: the air be cleared between us, or at least from my standpoint. Thanks for listening.
