[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah. You should have just said, I am not sure what you mean Margaret. [/quote] OP here. You are probably right. It was very confrontational; there was a lot of anger being directed at me. And I wasn’t prepared for it. I think my knee-jerk reaction was, “honesty is the best policy.” I’m used to talking through problems or misunderstanding with my family and friends. But I see your point and I think you are right. There was certainly nothing gained by being honest. But I think this is the first time in my life I’ve felt that honesty and trying to have an open dialogue did not help improve a relationship. This is just a new one for me. [/quote] That's my whole relationship with my family in a nutshell OP, and it's why therapy helped me deal with other people but didn't quite help me with my family relationships. It never worked to be honest and upfront with them. Just didn't suit the family dynamic. [/quote]
