I need to stop.
How my oldest reacts to a situation, or creates hostility, starts my mind spinning toward thoughts of what can happen months, years down the road. 'If she doesn't think that she's wrong about causing her sister pain then she'll become the bully of her school'. 'Her moodiness could become serious depression.' 'She doesn't clean her room, she's going to be a horder!'
That last thought could just be me watching too much "Clean House".
I need to calm down. I need to focus on the current day. I keep saying this to myself but it's not working. I might be the one depressed.
