[quote=Anonymous]My mom and my son do this. With my Mom, I think it stems from depression and a defensiveness that has to do with a feeling of lack of control in her life. My son is often the one talking in a way that other people find offensive, and he has no clue that he comes off that way. DS has a communication disorder and very weak social pragmatic communication skills. You might try reading and discussing with your husband some of Deborah Tannen's books (That's not what I meant and/or you just don't understand) for some good examples of how two parties can be in communication and both think they are sending really clear messages, but each is "receiving" a different message.
