> "I may be sensitive, Mom, but if you know that, why would you choose to say something that you know will distress me?"
<<I've never thought of it that way before, if it comes up again, I'll try it. :-) Thanks!
> Especially if it's something like yelling, which *nobody* enjoys.
<<I don't like yelling, period, but I could handle it if it hadn't been directly *at* me. You know? I've always made a point of being mad at the situation, *not* the person. Well, I might *hate* the person but I'd never address the problem that way....that make any sense? And I wish my mother could do the same. She had every right to be stressed out over the dog making a mess on her carpet....I just don't wanna be called stupid for it.
Thanks again, hope everything is going well with you. I havent' had much time to look at these boards recently.......take care,Susan
