Day 23 - Bitter or Better

I chose bitter. I tried to choose better, but somehow, each time I tried to be a better, I just ended up becoming even more bitter. I thought bitter would get me through my son's last year of elementary school, but it didn't. It just made me turn into the person I thought I could never be...an unhappy, complaining person, who lost faith in the system and lost herself along the way. My bitterness began when I found out my son was in the same classroom as his bully of 5 years. I could go into all the details of how things were not fair, how I fought for him to be removed from the classroom, how I made myself believe that he was in this classroom for a reason, how his bully ended up making him cry most of the school year (especially that time when he made physical contact with my son and I had to make a scene in order for the principal and teacher to know that I meant business about keeping him safe) or how my sweet son, ended up getting a teacher that was not the right fit for him. But I'm going to spare the details because I want to be better. I took that first step when I read this article from Ken Davis. http://www.kendavis.com/connect/an-everyday-choice-that-leads-toward-life-or-death/
I'm not sure if this counts as a RAK, but if you're ever in the same situation, I hope you'll choose to be better.
