[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine are like that too. The older and crazier they get, the more indirectly they communicate. [b]My therapist says to listen for the feelings underneath the untrue statements: I miss you, I'm lonely, I'm feel that I'm not getting enough attention, I feel vulnerable. [/b][/quote]. This is a good reminder, thank you. [/quote] Same goes for talk of deceased relatives. If my grandma brings up her mother as if she's still alive, I don't correct her and say she is dead. Because the feeling underneath the words is "I care about my mother. She is important to me." So we talk about her mother for a while.[/quote]
