Title: Walking on egg shells Post by: MillerGirl05 on March 03, 2018, 07:40:34 PM Wasn't quite sure what I was doing wrong. Now that I know there is a name for this I'm actually relieved. And everything makes sense. But it doesn't make dealing with his unpredictable outbursts any easier. He and I obviously do not see things the same and it is so hard to try and not say something to trigger his rage. If I could convince him to get help, I know that would be one huge step in the right direction but he thinks he is just "sensitive". He's a recovering alcoholic and thinks there is no "cause", that it was just a fluke unlike so many of the others he went to meetings with who he felt had "reasons" for becoming addicted. His denial and delusions are profound. I am open to any ideas or suggestions ?

Type it all out, even if it's just topic headers at first. A "brain dump" gives your thoughts some order and allows you to advance your thinking. -NGU |
