Straighten me out

All I want to know is what, exactly, I did that was so harsh and hostile. I think it's unfair of the counselor and Larry to tell me that I handled something poorly, then not tell me exactly what I did wrong or how I should handle it in the future.

I vote that you print this statement out and read it out loud at the beginning of the next session... then come back and tell us how it went.

That's a good idea - that way I'll have my thoughts together and can communicate my dilemma more effectively.

To communicate effectively you need to understand you each have different personalities that can't be changed.
Now you can take that difference and push each others hot buttons or you can try and relearn a different way to communicate within the family.

...and it's called 'The SOMD Forums.'


From now on, all family issues will be presented on the forums, we will each make our case and then y'all get to vote on it.

So, Vrail, dear, in the interest of familial harmony, say, oh about 11:30 or so tonight we :gossip: and then :love: and then... :larry:


All in favor?

:yeahthat: Based on what I'm seeing, there is a lot of confusion as to what EXACTLY is the issue and a lot of hair-splitting going on. You have yet to get to the root of the problem IMO as everyone is interpreting the sessions in their own way.

Girl, please. We're up to page 29, so far. It will BE the next session.

I'd love to see you explain to Shrink how it is you got all these crazy people on here to think she's a :touchyfeely:

For the record, I never said that about the shrink... as another person that tends to be "righteous and therefore harsh"... I would expect the same rebuttal from a shrink towards me...:lol:

...we're on the same page. I'm just learning to more clearly communicte to her specific concerns without it sounding like I'm attacking. To learn to be a bit more nuanced or aware of the overall picture, thoughts and how past behavior may color things in some manner. To be able to walk a few steps in her new gold boots, so to speak, and allow sensitivity into my thought process to express my feelings.

She's working on how to more clearly tell me to #### off when she's busting some kids azz.

I agree.

I think, honestly, that a lot of it is just my personality. I am a very direct person (I know this will shock all of you :jet:) and not given to euphemisms and soft words. Frankly, I like that about myself and I like it in others. So I don't particularly want to change.

And where the shrink would comfort you and try to get you to express what you're feeling, I would tell you to get up and quit acting like that - I don't speak "whine". :lol:
