Bootylicious!1's Journal, 27 Feb 23

I won't go into all the details but on Saturday someone totally blindsided me and called me a bad parent,,trying to belittle me&assert some kind of superiority over me in a room full of people. Raging. I was glaring, but didn't answer back when she told me in a condescending tone to 'blink, blink Booty, take a breath' I looked away took a huge gulp of my drink while she went into the kitchen, I followed her through and told my friend very loudly that I had to leave before I knocked her out, called her a c*** and left. I went back&apologised 5mins later in front of everyone for shouting at her, she proceeded to double down on what she had said, said that SHE was fuming at me shouting,she had done nothing wrong&that I had gotten it all wrong. I outright asked her if she was judging me as a parent and she said yes. I am gutted with myself for allowing her actions to cause such a reaction in me, this is not what I practise or preach. I now have to reflect on why this is still such a trigger for me and do some more work on myself. I wanted to post this to let everyone know that I am not perfect, I make mistakes but it is not how we fall, it is how we pick ourselves back up that counts. I'm choosing to forgive BOTH of us and use this lesson as a teaching moment,,hopefully this will reach someone who needs to know that they are not alone, these things happen& recognising ur own faults is a strength not a weakness, much love 🙏❤️
