Just sat down having breakfast with my mother. Before, I could feel her irritation and her will to make me give her attention. If I sat down and read the newspaper as I usually do, she would just get furious (I am serious) because that was "ignoring her". But today I sat down reading and could almost ignore her stupid reactions and need for attention, not in a way of ignoring her at all, just minding my own business and having breakfast. Previously there would have been much anxiety in this, and I realize that I have disregarded my needs in favor of hers a long time. Nice to see this change.
