[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished untamed. You would not take me to be someone who would fan girl or love GD or her books. 
But I'm 37 with a 3 year old, an underemployed lazy husband, and  I've had doubts about so many things for years in this marriage.
I have suppressed my thoughts and bitten my tongue. I have stayed up doing things for my family while my husband lounges/sleeps in.
I am a person who hates live laugh love mugs and #mombosswarrior culture.
After reading untamed, I have found my voice. Or rather, rediscovered it. I have found the courage to start speaking up again about things that do not serve me. Dynamics that are unfair. 
I am no longer afraid to point out and address the truth, even if it makes people uncomfortable.
This expression is corny, but after reading the book, I felt seen.[/quote]

I'm really happy for you!

Thanks! Recent example from just this AM. My DH tried to scapegoat me for something. Details not important. But bottom line is that it was easier for him to blame me/pretend I was the reason He wasn't doing something. I called him out on it. Not in a rude or cruel way, but just stated matter of factly. You have the time ability and opportunity to do xyz action. You choose to allocate your time in other ways. I am not the reason xyz isn't getting done. You are the reason. I can cheer you on, but the individual action is up to you.

In past times, I would have stayed quiet and let him vent. Whatever. 
Now, I speak up for myself. I say the truth. Even if it makes myself or him uncomfortable. I am breaking old patterns and ways of thinking.[/quote]
