Isn't that funny that that's what you thought of? I was just seeing myself angry and frustrated at being asked to papergirl EVERY DAY when I was only volunteering for Sunday. I knew I was sounding petty when I described it to T but I was flipping out. I read somewhere that that is what Ts do, see what feelings arise in themselves as they listen to their clIents. So I saw my being defenseless in my situations when you described yours today. That's what resonated for me.

And the two major times my folks didn't explain to me what happened, they didn't really hear my side of the story either. They assumed the worst and tried to sweep it under the rug, but they never forgot it. Unfortunately they remembered it wrong and I have had to live with it since then. That's why I don't talk to them.
