I understand, actually, can appreciate that my child will say unreasonable things, due to her depression, especially when in a rage. I understand that the depression is behind the wheel and the filters are not functioning. I have been told and have read that she needs me to listen. I wouldn't even consider some stupid platitude. I know that, as much as I want, I can't fix her. But, do I need to continue to sit as she hurls insults and vitriol at me, over and over? Please know, I am trying to sort through the things she says, to recognize where I am culpable, whether because of something I never intended to hurt her or just because it's the way she perceived it. I accept. But, the ongoing verbal abuse, trying to give credence to things I didn't do -- it's starting to creep inside me. Do I have to, quietly, let her rage, over and over, or can I say I need to exit these sessions, for the time being. Help me.
