It’s so frustrating cause she is very good at making ME feel like the bad guy when all I ever really do is defend my boundaries or lose patience when I have to do that for the seventeenth time in a row. Like yea after the 100th time of “I don’t wanna talk about that” and her promptly ignoring me or trying to find loopholes yea I get fucking pissed. But then oh I’m the asshole just cause I have goddamned self respect and don’t let her tread all over me and walk me like a dog.

Thank GOD my therapist has explicitly told me twice now that I don’t seem to act like her. God I wouldn’t be able to handle that.

“So do you see us as people or bad parents?” First of all you’re fine parents, you’re just both the most dogwater husband and wife I’ve ever had the displeasure of being raised by. Second, mf this is the kind of binary all-or-nothing thinking that sabotaged my social and emotional development!
