Why is it that it only takes one day with my family -- a celebratory day, no less -- to have me weeping and certain that death is the only reasonable answer? (No, not planning anything, just having a really, really bad day.)
Now, I'm a reasonably intelligent, reasonably insightful person. I've spent [mumble] years around these people, so their behavior is not surprising to me. The patterns are there, I see them, I know what they mean, I know a lot about what's inside each of them that motivates what comes out of them. Why do I continue to play my part, the part they've chosen for me, trained me for, that leaves me crying alone at home the next day?
And can anyone out there tell me how to communicate to my husband that he *doesn't* need to chime in his agreement with them???
As an aside, my Monthly Feminine Cycle has changed radically the past couple of months -- since starting new meds. Has anyone else experienced changes like this from meds, or is this, indeed, the start of another kind of change in my life?
Thanks for taking the time to read this. And thanks, in advance, for your concern and support.
