Oh dear, that's me not you. I tend to be hard on myself for not drawing better boundaries! No, we are talking in MC about various triggers, but that one is just randomly spewed - never know when it's coming - connected to fights we've had in the past. The thing he is beginning to have to acknowledge is that those fights were only 50% me. I've been working very hard on owning my 50%. I am at the point I've "listened and validated" and owned up and changed and everything~!

It's just weird. I mean, I would never never never randomly throw out "jokes" like: "Oh cat, remember when H called me a B**ch on Mother's Day? Too bad he can't control his mouth."

Well that would be true. But a completely immature way to vent it. That's what he does. Things will be humming along cordially, even nicely and whammo, some little bird dropping falls right on my head. I seriously need to prepare myself for this. I never realized before tonight how much I've put up with this.
