I've got a question on validation. It's been a while unfortunately and I'm wondering if I'm doing it right. It's important for me because one of W complaint is me not listening and just interrupting and telling her what to do I realize now that a lot of times she just wants me to listen Here is an example of text exchange we just had:
W: "So wow. I wasn't upset about not being invited until I just saw Erin was invited to Stacys wedding"
Me: "I don't know what to say But I can understand why that would upset you"
W: "I mean I'm not upset but it just hurts. Like especially since the only reason she was friends with Erin or Katherine for that fact was bc of me"
W: "I wouldn't have gone. But an invite would have been nice"
Me: "Seems like you have a right to be hurt Makes sense"
