[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immediate PP. 
But, speaking of validating:
I also get yelled at when I try to understand, "oh, it sounds really frustrating that XYZ"
NO MOM YOU DON"T GET IT IT"S THIS!! [/quote]

Original empath PP here. I like your suggestions. I’m going to try especially asking if it’s me or the situation. Rhetorical question I think, but one she may really not consider unless prompted. This is so good.

Also, regarding the quoted comment.  Gosh yes. As an empath I have always been innately good at understanding where someone is coming from, even giving words to feelings they may be struggling to articulate. I’ve always been the person friends come to in those tough moments for support. And in my work today, I’m usually right on target in getting it & saying the right thing with all different kinds of people that I encounter.  But with my own dd, apparently I am always wrong?! I don’t get it and I say the wrong thing. Frustrating in the moment, sad in thinking about the mother/daughter connection, and also just totally a first for me! [/quote]
