Here's where I get stuck -
Sometimes, I am seriously *stuck*. Stuck in my own muck and mire and bad feelings and bad attitude. And for better or worse, stuck in my less-than-stellar treatment of my family.
When that happens, we *have* to get out. Out of the house where everyone can do something that doesn't have to do with me. A change of scenery that breaks the cycle in my brain.
When that happens, my wonderful husband will send me out the door to go have dinner with a friend. A pedicure. Bible study. Whatever.
The thought that, because I'm caught for a couple of hours in a downward spiral with my family (which happens more often than i'd like to admit), I should disallow myself interaction with others is suffocating. Not for anyone else. Just speaking for me.
And one of my children is *just* like that.
It's not that I think the concept is bad, ill-conceived, not grace-based.
. I just know that it doesn't work to the betterment of all of my family.
