[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of monsters are some of you all married to? Crying happens when people are hurt, sad, angry, grieving, in pain or overcome with joy. Tears are just one facet in a normal, healthy range of emotions. A normal response to tears is empathy and a shoulder to cry on.[/quote] I think a lot of people, especially boys/men, are taught that crying is bad or a sign of weakness. Most people were punished, taunted, or criticized for crying as children. When you’ve internalized that crying is bad, it makes you feel very uncomfortable when other people cry. [/quote] I teach my kids that it is healthy to have a range of emotions and my dh does, too. We both grew up in homes where emotions were either deeply repressed or volatile, explosive and disproportionate. We continually work on being emotionally healthy and we discuss our feelings openly. When my kids cry, we comfort them.[/quote]
