Projection & reversal

Her email from a couple hours ago:
Just in case you haven't noticed, I HAVE NOT been sleeping much for several nights. I am dealing with a lot of anxiety about a lot of stuff.

On Monday night I asked if you could find time to talk to me. As of now, you have barely spoken a word to me, let alone given me any insight as to when you might actually have a spare moment or two for a dialogue between the two of us.

I really don't want to "assume" I know what your silence and avoidance is about.

MY silence and avoidance....
OK, so let's see here. I come home -- apparently EARLIER than she expected. And, she had to make sarcastic remarks about that, rather than be glad for the company, etc. I kissed her, as always, when I got home. In other words, I acted the same as ever.

She, on the other hand, shortly after I got home, took herself upstairs. And, pretty much stayed there for the most part. Except for coming down for her pills, more wine, that sort of thing.

She also tried to start up about just what my folks are doing for the remainder of their time here.... But, I didn't even come close to rising to that bait.

Anyway, I've left her be, pretty much. Her message was one of withdrawal, and I've lt her be.

Too bad she's gotten what she "asked for". Poor girl.

Chat, shmat. I've had about enough of the bullshit.
