[quote=Anonymous]Typing on phone, apologize for any typos. After a blowup with a parent, I realized the codependency patterns. Both of us reactive, getting each other riled up. I have been working the last month to be pleasant, share WAY less personal info, not seek their approval, meet them on their level (agreeing , validsting, uh huh-ing on phone while I do chores). Yay. Any advice for letting comments that spark a reaction in me roll off my back? Today I just went silent, let person rant w/o countering, but the comment stayed with me. I wish I had a recycle bin in my head where I could drag and drop! I love my parent and bc of depression and suspected cognitive issues, one of those "these are my boundaries, im hanging up now" confrontations is out of question. How do you sage cleanse your minds when you get grumpy? [/quote]
