It sounds like you've said this on more than one accasion. He heard you. Now, stop It sounds like you're "mothering" him. If he starts in try excusing yourself and leaving or one of my favorites is to say "wow, it sounds like it really sucks to be you. I'm sorry."
Grace, I actually haven't said that to my H. Maybe initially before I realized what all was going on with him, months ago, I might have said something along those lines but haven't since. But I would love to!
I have done the letter writing thing. I wrote quite a nasty letter a few weeks ago unloading everything I was angry/frustrated/hurt about. When I am ready I am printing it out and burning it for that release. Not quite ready yet. And no, I wouldn't give it to him. I am also thinking I need to write one of those unpostable letters to my in-laws, too . . .
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
No grump here today, more like the strong, silent type (or maybe just silent). Actually, H took the kids to see a movie to get them out of my hair since it has been a long week, which was nice. Honestly, I would have rather been invited to go along but this is okay, too. Maybe some day.
