Stranger in my house
Is it weird to feel like a stranger and alone in my own family. I have been having severe issues with by communicating to my husband and son. It seems to turn into arguments every time I speak. They both seem to be able to say whatever they want and are very long winded. If I even try to speak it is to no avail because I’m interrupting. I’ve tried pointing out that them talking on and on and on is not a discussion or conversation, but a monologue. If I say nothing and just listen I’m accused of pulling back or not being engaged . I don’t know what to do, but I can’t take it anymore
Try texting them with an explanation of how the situation makes you feel. Or even writing them a note to read. It’ll give you enough opportunity to chose your words accurately and gives them a chance to read neutrally without emotions getting in the way.
