I don't know that I disagree with you. I can tell you that numerous times over the past week I have pointed out that all she can recall are the bad things. And that they seem to cover up any good I have ever done. Words like "Never" and "You don't do anything" seem to come from her mouth quite a bit. I have been very cautious this time about pointing fingers and have done my best not to bring up past times and events. I have let 1 or 2 fly. This is just one of those times I need to "see" something that will help me turn a corner. And you know.. people say the damndest things.. when they don't know what to say.
Come on Forrest, you know that what you describe is typical. "Never", "you dont do anything", "always", yada yada yada... I am not saying there are no valid points in what she says, I dont know that, I am saying that the exaggeration is typical and very cliche in this situations...
