So mad I walked away, I did this many times, shaking my head! Then, we begin to put all our feelings away, shut them off and makes us even more crazy. But, of course, we have no other choice, CUZ sure can't talk to them.
There were very few times I could actually talk about needs, feelings...sometimes he'd act like yea, you're right or he'd kinda understand, bUT then right back to same thing and they meant NOTHING! I guess if we can live like that it is fine, even using the "tools" I would feel suffocated at times.
