My roommate always reminisces about his family and all the good times he had with them..he keeps talking about it as if he longs for those days. What gets me upset is that all his talking about his family and how loving they were reminds me of my family NOT being nice and NOT being there for me and that I have VERY FEW good, happy memories of my childhood. I wish I could tell him to be mindful of my feelings like I am mindful of his but I'm afraid that would trigger his anger problem and he'll act out and make me more upset...How do I deal with this without making him upset? I have to go in my room and shut it all out and cry sometimes because of the bad memories his reminiscing triggers.
