My mother thought this would have been a good way to handle it. She also admitted that she probably avoided talking to me because my emotional personality made her uncomfortable, and she was afraid that she couldn't help me (meet my need) and she would feel like a fool (feel ashamed??)
This scenario has played out between H and me countless times, with me playing me, and H playing my mother.
Ditto this... and not just with this bf, but with other R's, too.
I can't help anymore with cac... he's reacting so much the way my bf does that I'm getting too pissed off to be level-headed.
