Huh! I thought I was logged in but apparently was not! Anyway,

For some reason, my Dad has picked up this behavior over recent years and I don't like it. Very childish. But luckily, I don't seem to have to deal with people who do this much these days. In fact, I am probably the one who will do it on occasion. But feel free to call me out on it if I ever do it here! I do it to my husband sometimes just because I'm frustrated and in a particularly bad mood. I know it's wrong but in that moment, well, I just really do want to hurt him and can't think of any other safer way. He's often not even phased by me, but if he is, I'll apologize for it...actually, this is making me self reflect right now. Maybe I don't always apologize or maybe I'm the one who doesn't validate his feelings sometimes (thinking of something else that went down, not a passive aggressive thing. A direct thing)...then again, I think his reaction was just him manipulating me again making me feel guilty for having my feelings. Yeah, I take it back. I said what I said not to hurt him but because I was really trying to be honest with him about what bothered me. *deep breath* We all too often have a hard time understanding one another, but I feel I'm often more misunderstood because i consider myself fairly understanding and the fact that he seems less so or is just incapable of understanding me just sems plain unfair.

Sorry for going off on a tangent like that, but these threads like this really get me thinking! I think that can be a good thing! ...as long as I don't dwell on things, like the fact that this situation is unfair or life is unfair and I just get depressed by it. That would not be good.

Anyhoo! Well, I guess maybe i stayed on topic...if just from the title. I'm sorry, but I forgot all of the OP since I read it yesterday but was out of time to comment then. Heh!

Sending peace and calming vibes to all of you out there reading this!
