It's like you're giving others a remote control with buttons, each of which has a button labeled with the name of an emotion. "Anger" "Jealousy" "Sadness" "Disappointment", etc. And, anytime someone does something bad, they are able to hurt you with their actions.
That's what I mean. I'm not invalidating your feelings. There are no invalid feelings.

Respectfully,
You're not her therapist and I do not think this is helpful. It may not be on purpose, but your posts do seem invalidating. Best regards.
To the OP, you and your family are in my thoughts.
