This is a conversation I had with my ex-T once: I told her about a time that I had moved with my H, (due to his job) and two young children (one was a baby) to live in another country.
T- that was hard for you because you are an anxious person
Me- but it's generally acknowledged that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, let alone move to a different country
T- well when I last moved house it was hard - I couldn't find anything in the kitchen cupboards
Me - rendered speechless at T thinking that not being able to find things in her kitchen after a move is in anyway related to being with two little ones in a strange country where you don't know a soul except your H who is at work.
