WOW WOW WOW!Lot's of insight T2! LaBug, you're fortunate to have a thought provoking ppl on your posts. Totally makes me think a lot about my sitch.

I project my anger a lot, or so I used to. Always blamed someone as the cause of it. Never myself!

Then I realized, HEY! It's my own fault!

Great example!
Yesterday morning my dad left after visiting us for a few weeks. I always get emotional. Well H came over in the morning (my dad had already left) and first thing he tells me. "what's up with your hair?"

1st! Don't ever criticize a woman's hair! We are very sensitive about it!
2nd! I was already emotional when I saw his empty bedroom.

I walked away to take care of D1. Gave myself time to think about my deep dark feelings.

Walked back into the kitchen and said, I'm very sensitive right now cuz my dad left.

I think I made a huge milestone right there. Kinda surprised H too. Before I woulda blamed him for the hair comment and some other random thing.

So that's my take on trying to pinpoint my emotions and giving H a heads up.

How'd I do?

BTW- LaBug, how's the camping planning going???
