We've talked about this in therapy before - my inability to allow him to be happy for me, or be please about something. I want him to be but it rattles me too - like he is going to switch on a dime and suddenly be angry at my happiness. I think the emotional regulation we've been working on is in play here too - you couldn't be too sad or too happy when I was a kid, so I never learned. Anything outside my small, very reserved, very calm zone, feels scary.
And yes - I can't help but feel he is wishing and wishing for me positive conversations with me.
It *is* hard!
