I feel your pain.  the hardest part is that you really have good intentions and you just want things to be good and you can't process why you get such a cold, scathing response.
I was just learning about the demand/withdraw pattern in relationships.
Stay strong okay?  |
Thank you for sharing the article. I did read it and a lot of it hit home.
Cold scathing doesn't really describe his response. It's more exploding anger and yelling at me that it's not HIS fault. I'm good for now, I'll keep it to myself.
There just isn't anyone that I can talk to about it that halfway understands, or wants to, except my once a week counselor. When something comes into my mind, it's like it has an agenda of its own. I can't seem to put it away. It helps me so much to be able to verbalize it. For some reason, speaking it out loud to someone else, helps me make sense of it in some way. It also "downloads" it and there is a relief that I'm not alone. Well, that's what I'm looking for anyway when I try and talk with him about any of what I am working through.
Sorry! I'm rambling.
Thank you for the article!
