He can relate to me asking him not to criticize much better than he can relate to me telling him how his crticism makes me feel. The first makes him responsible for how he treats me, the second tries to make him responsible for my feelings.
Thank you so much for this. And for taking the time to post. This is my first free moment and I was hoping to have someone post . It helps me so much to get different objectives from others here. I cherish the advice, thoughts and kindness~ Thanks Sheila.... your post will be read often by me. I am reading Codependent No More ~MELODY BEATTIE as a matter of fact ... I have had this book for years and never have taken the time to truly read thru it. Thank you for your support. God Bless, Ali
