Thank you so much for sharing that you relate, though I'm sorry you do.

Yes, if she didn't heed the stoppers that I'm putting into the conversations, I would go the next step. I would have to. I so understand. I may have to.

Yes, I think she's angry at the world right now and I'm available.

She's in pain, can't take anything to help due to pregnancy, having trouble already with that pregnancy, etc., etc. I think she looks at me sometimes and is just angry. I get that. I've been there when dealing with my trigeminal neuraligia. However, sometimes you gotta go rip a pillow to shreds while keeping it respectful to those around you.

I don't expect her not to ever "fly off the handle", of course. We all do. Mostly it's a reflection of where we're at inside. I get that. I've learned that with myself.

I've discussed with her journaling all this anger and resentment. Also, we're going to get some crafts to try to occupy the physical problems as best we can while doing relaxtion as well. That's on her. It's something she must do.

I explained that I will help, but she has to do what she can and nothing less.

I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers as well. Already once, I made her leave for a few days. I explained that she wasn't going to sit here and treat me that way without even at least attempting to work for herself. If I see her doing that, I can deal.

That was a couple of weeks ago and there's been a huge improvement. What's left is what we're working on. I'm just worn out because it's been so long-enduring, I think. So is she and everyone involved.

Thank you so much.
