Thanks L, Definitely easier said than done. Today was definitely not an easy day, and I really didn’t do well at listening or validating. I did a bit but also displayed defensiveness, anger and some silence. We closed on our house today. What normally should be a joyous occasion was not really. We talked a lot today, which started off good but devolved into H pointing out all my faults, defending his family’s behaviors towards me and not owning any of his part in it. So, I got defensive and I’m still angry, and then he comes up to me tonight wanting to see how I’m doing. Really??? You just ripped me apart and you want to see how I’m feeling. DUH! Im frustrated and tired
