[quote=Anonymous]BF just sent this to me. How would you respond to this. I have a history of depression and even though I am not clinically depressed right now I have a sad interior, that I seldom discuss, and spend most of my life disguising; he knows bc we were talking about my life and my failed attempts to fix it last night. I was quite dark saying things I believe to be true, mostly ways in which I am failing my child and unable to get where I want to professionally or materially (I'm a single parent with full custody). Afterwards felt I had repelled him with honesty / toxicity and said so, said I have been pushing people away just by being honest (it's true, I did the same thing earlier yesterday with a friend who has a low tolerance for my outlook--she asked how I was doing with something and I answered too honestly). He says he feels manipulated by my stating it that way. And that he wishes I would take myself seriously. This is so broad I don't know how to respond except to understand that he does not respect me and thinks I should grow up -- at least that's what it sounds like to me. I've been in therapy 4 times in my life and also on medication in the past, none of it has changed the underlying lack of self respect or my inability to make good decisions.[/quote]
