I know we've talked about this before. I am very sensitive true. You've explained it to me before that it's normal but I'm just not built that way. I can't just be a whipping boy and be the focus of hateful behavior, speech, and body language when I've done the most to support, encourage and love. It chews me up inside and really triggers negative feelings. I'm getting wary of which version of this person I'll encounter each time we have an interaction. I'm getting whiplash. I am assertive but that doesn't stop the behavior. Each time they are under stress or something goes wrong they take it out on me.

My therapist says to just walk away when this happens. I can't turn my back on them like that. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and get some of the hurt out.
