Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

... and anyway this isn't something you can cure with a pill.

So I asked her, "Well what would cure it?"

An end to all this craziness.

And then I dropped A bomb -- "And what would be different about you the day after all this craziness ended? Not about us. Not about the situation. What would change in you?"

The silence since has been deafening.

I have been hesitant to be so direct, but have bounced around this topic for a while.

W is miserable, and blames her misery directly on "Us and the situation we are in", but to me this does not explain why she is unhappy when the rest of us are happy; why she is unhappy when there is nothing going on TODAY that she would have any objection to.

I made the suggestion that "I have learned by looking at myself, that often when I am angry at you (W) and and my anger or emotions are disproportional to the situation, that it is normally something else that I am emotional about. Something long ago that has nothing to do with the current situation. It seems to me that your current stress and misery and unhappiness with our M is not proportional to the real situation. Do you think it is something else that is really bothering you."

As you said SP, the silence was deafening. Her only response was something like "I don't want to think about it right now"
