Transference and projection, just wonderful

No surprise. M just came back after taking herself "away" for awhile, maybe 90 minutes to two hours gone....

I tried NOT to immediately assume her to be sour.... so I just said, "Hello".

She said, indistinctly (so I had to ask her to repeat, which fueled the fire) "I think I'd prefer if you NOT talk to me..." And, "If you can't do that, then I can pack a suitcase...."

I fell silent.

Then something about, "If I HAD A PLACE to go, and it didn't hurt to drive (yadayadayada) I WOULDN'T BE HERE...."

Then she launched into her being a doormat and tired of it....

up the stairs, back down again.... more tirade....

and of always being wrong, and saying the wrong thing... and on, and on.

Wrong for NOT knowing my schedule. Wrong for not knowing WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE AND WHO YOU'LL BE WITH".... etc, etc Wrong for asking....

Then, in an extra added dramatic spin, she went out to the recycle and grabbed the "Housing" classifieds....

She wasn't obvious, but wasn't invisible about it, either...

Cute.

Actually, it would be very good for her to find herself a place of her own while I'm gone.... That would be good for her and fine for me.....

Of course, I'm keeping my possible new living place a continuing secret until I'm certain and done with it.
