Goals, pain, and a little jubilation

I forced the fight with my mom and I won!  It was nasty and drawn out, and I learned my mother must keep a mental tab of how much money she's given me to help me over the past few years, but it's done.  Since then every time mom has called she has made an obvious effort not to hassle me about things.  This is important because I pulled no punches in that fight and the fact that she's trying after it is impressive.  My goals are to stop looking for reasons to be annoyed with her and to not blow things out of proportion in my head when they happen (cause they will).  I have spent enough time in a miserable childish attitude over something my mother has done, so it is my goal to be an adult even when she isn't even if it's not fair.  In the end it truly is just more beneficial to me.

I got to fill out my first incident report today because my autistic client hit me.  It wasn't him being mean, he was just annoyed with me and the only way he can communicate this is by hitting or pinching because he's non-verbal, so it doesn't especially bother me.

And I am now 23!
