My neighbor lady and her husband have been gone for over a month now. It's hard not to know this, with all the snow we have had and it just piled up. I must admit I haven't missed seeing her. I have heard conflicting stories, like she is in one State and he is in another, so who knows what is going on with them. I even called their daughter this morning, to see if everything was okay, and all I heard, was everything was "fine".
The point is that during this time, I have been trying to get to the core of why she has upset me so much over these years, especially when they had the power company move the power pole into my yard, among other things. I was so angry at that time, and felt like I didn't have a choice, but now, as of today, I realize I did.
They crossed my boundaries, but I didn't say no to the power company. I didn't make the neighbors come over to me, and tell me what they were up to. I did have a choice, and I was too frightened, too scared of them, to stand up to them. I'm glad for this time away from seeing them, and hopefully will get stronger to be aware of my boundaries with them in the future. I better!!
