... actually came through for me. Usually I don't share with him any therapy angst, because he doesn't usually get it, so I end up feeling frustrated and annoyed.
He came home early tonight (our daughter had a dance recital) and saw the pain on my face. Asked what was wrong, I asked if he really wanted to know. He listened, paused and said, "You're hurt. You need to tell her tomorrow, and you will work this out." So simple, but I felt understood --- finally --- by him.
And not to underestimate my babble friends. I went to you first and thank you so so so much. I've taken pieces of what everyone has suggested and will go tomorrow --- SITTING up front, in her face.
Dinah - when she went off in the direction of relating my feeling to my past, I did tell her that was adding insult to injury. I'm glad I spoke up right then and there.
I'm definitely having a rough time. Now that I have labeled it as "pain" has help. Funny what a simple concept that is.
