compassionate communications
Hi all, haven't been on here for ages (the usual reasons,health, time, inability to get personal time etc) but I'm glad I refound this link again. Its such a help at times like this.
Its funny we do need reminding of this - or I do, especially now. I'm back in bed recuperating from my third attempt at a prolapse repair, and yet again John is uppermost on my time, energy, priorities etc etc etc.
He is so self absorbed and unashamedly demanding and self centred that it's driving my daughter nuts. She has flown over from America and left her small son at home to look after us, but I'm having to get between them all the time to keep the peace. I have explained and had forewarned her about her dad, but his difficult behaviour is fairly constant as he tries to ensure he is at the top of the pecking order. When peace breaks out I slip up to bed to try & rest. But he just tries his darnedest to try and join me to start all over again.
I realised, re reading this link, that he's extra afraid because i'm unwell and unable to keep to his routine of being the total centre of my universe and care. And he's desperate for me all the time. I shall try showing this link to my daughter but I dont think she feels very receptive just now!!!!
Love to all and bless this site and all its members
