[quote=Anonymous]This is it for me: "Conversationally, we're not on the same wavelength." I find even discussing minor matters with her to set me on edge. Very rarely I feel like we've had conversations where I feel heard and like I was part of it. Normally, I feel she is talking AT me and just unloading whatever it is she needs to discuss. Often this is done in what I consider to be an aggressive tone, which really throws me off. I've come to realize that socializing is pretty taxing on her. She can do it normally, but once she gets comfortable, she resorts to this gruff, judgmental tone that makes it hard to be with her. Kids have helped immensely. Now we can just focus on the kids and talk about them. I appreciate how much she loves them and enjoys spending time with them. So that helps to smooth out some of her rougher edges. We will never be close though, and that's ok. At least to me that's ok...[/quote]
