hello . . . i'm pam and i'm a recovering codependent. i am feeling very frustrated with my entire life right now. i am a 6th grade teacher, and the class i have is driving me insane. they are disrespectful, rude and inconsiderate. then i come home, and my bf seems to be doing everything in his power right now to make me crazier. i can't say a thing without him snapping at me. we have been fighting for 3 days now. he keeps saying i am negative but i never hear a positive thing anywhere in my life. i'm just needing to vent and am looking for positive words of wisdom from anyone out there. help me figure out how i can go about my day and not let all the chaos being created by others affect me. thanks for letting me vent!

Hi Pam, Glad to have you join us here.

It always helps me to have a better day when I connect with God first thing in the morning. If my day starts getting off track then I can stop and connect with God again and start over. If I were in your situation, my sponsor would tell me to tell the boyfriend that I will speak to him when he speaks to me in a kind manner and then go to another room. Please continue to come and share with us here. We are here for you.

We really can not control the feelings of others,

so if the class and the BF wants to feel negatively to you then that is their reality.

Some times we can control their actions but the problem is usually deeper.

You must learn to control your own feelings and do not get "insane" and do not get "crazier" and do not let other people control your feelings.

It is so simple and yet so hard to do.
