That's also why I don't have him come to IC with me. I end up feeling too vulnerable & exposed.

Thanks for understanding... it's such a relief to know others have BTDT & 'get me', otherwise I think I'd be nuts by now.

again.. how do I make sure of that?? sharing it in counseling is a start... calling him on it outside of counseling, just adds fuel to the fire & I think it puts me back in charge of H's emotions & actions, like he is 3 & can't self-monitor or filter... uggg...

thanks for stopping by.

Hugs to you !!
