Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

A couple of days ago I had a nice day and was driving home. At that moment I was thinking about how nice it would be if I could tell about my day and about my feelings when I came home. Talking to a SO as very close friends... . Listening to what her day was like. Like I used to…

At that moment I realised that I never had this: a big problem in our r/s was me telling about the things in my life: good things were ignored or led to arguements. Bad things she seemed to like of made them of herself. It was always about her!

She never was my friend. I think she wanted to be, but she didn’t succeed.

I tried to be hers, but didn’t succeed either I think. So putting it together: I didn’t have a close friend in a decade, but it looks like I’m missing that friend only now, after the break-up.

Probably the marriage-battle has put me off my basic-needs. Now I’m on my own, things calm down (I calm down) and my basic needs seem to pop up. Interesting.
