Tuesday night,the 9th, we had some words. I'd stayed patient, to a point, but it was only after I got peeved and lashed that she finally settled down and got more civil. My therapist tells me setting me off, getting me angry, is a primary way M currently finds to finally "feel connected". That goes back to the conflicted / abusive relationship with her mother....
Wednesday she decided to keep the doctor appointment -- went, got the cast changed, it felt LOTS better, and so, so did she. Surprise....
Since then, she's been a bit more reasonable,even loving at times.
But, I've been a little virusy and under the weather, especially the last several days..... and now, I'm virtually certain she's coming down with it too.
But, so far this last few days we've both been reasonable and tolerant, even when not feeling terribly well.
this too shall pass. For better or ill....
