[quote=Anonymous]For me I would not say I'm feeling their feelings. Im feeling MY feelings about their circumstances. I was genuinely hurt and disappointed when my son didnt make the soccer team. I wanted to be on those sidelines and part of that crowd. And yes, I wanted it partly because I knew how happy it made him, and I thought he had worked hard and deserved it, but recognizing that it was my disappointment helped me reframe my actions. Similarly when my other son had a big friend break up I felt annoyed at this other kid and embarrassed about what to say to his parents if I saw them and wondered if I should still invite hom to the birthday party, etc. I was also concerned about my son's feelings and social life, sure, but the emotions were mine. And once I claim them as mine I can reframe them in a healthier way and move on.[/quote]
