[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is emotional abuse but you are just used to it so you can’t see that. I grew up with this with my mom too. I didn’t even challenge it until I was married and my DH pointed it out. His attitude was to just let her go silent, or storm out or whatever she was doing. It took me a couple of years if I am honest to stop jumping and reacting to what I call her “emotional terrorism” and establish boundaries. But I did. I also went to a therapist to help me. GL. You deserve better and this has probably been hurting you a long time.[/quote] Just because some random website told you it's abuse, doesn't mean it's abuse. That generation was not raised learning to identify their emotions and manage them so they developed less helpful means. Just read it a sign she is anxious/overwhelmed/obsessing or truly busy and let it go. So what if she can't talk. It only matters if you give it meaning. [/quote]
