Re:
Bless you Kabu xx. I've slept heavily (not surprisingly!) and things look brighter this morning. It's a beautiful day and we will be setting off mid afternoon. I do anticipate some 'talking' however - it would be naive of me no to - though I still wouldn't be able to articulate to him why or how 'upsets' come to pass. Much of it, for me, is down to exhaustion.

Re: mneme
Hello Naut .. yes, and the pattern is probably one of my unwillingness to have conflict - that's why I keep it to myself. What I have found over many years of marriage, and increasingly in this new relationship, is that when someone is being difficult it's rarely been anything that I've done.. more often they have 'stuff' going on and it's for them to resolve. Alternatives .. well, I'm always weighing up those - always have done, but rarely do anything hastily. x

I can see why what your stepson is saying is irritating you.

It's been going on for years now, and I have the impression the pattern hasn't changed, and likely never will...Time to weigh the alternatives...

This is a really good place to release the steam button and let the words flow. It does seem to me that you are very convenient to Him and his son. I am sure that he does somethings for you BUT...well I suppose our Wiley spoils me...well yes he does, but I do feel so loved. I wish that feeling for you.
