Emotional regulation and irritability/anger issues
I have a person that loves me deeply. I am ruining the connection because I have my own thoughts and assumptions when he's clearly telling me what it is . I think my father messed me up starting from a young age with physical and emotional abuse . I don’t want to ruin this connection but I dont even know where to start to even fix it. I have control issues, past traumas, and I don't trust anyone . Any advice ?

learning to trust is hard... speaking up with your own thoughts and opinions is too.
I found in the end speaking up gets easier after the first few times and start with levels of trust ....more like trust but verify. i have people in my life that until they prove to me they were trustworthy i always checked to see if they followed thru. life is easier when we learn at least some level of trust.
