But the instinct is to keep them hidden also.

What is frustrating too is that i have a hard time understanding what my t means when she says things. Sometimes i see her words through a filter of rejection, or she says i misunderstand her or that i am projecting my own thoughts and feelings on her. Or she says that she doesn't recall having said some of the things that i remember her saying. I know that i can assume and misinterpret things. But i also get the feeling that my t at times gets overwhelmed with me and says things that make me feel bad, but when i confront her with it, she denies that is what she said or meant -- kind of like backpeddling. . . unless she truly forgets what she said. She has told me she has a bad memory.
