If You’ve tried to control them. That made it worse.
You’ve tried to get your partner to control them. That also made it worse. You’re at your wits-end. You’re resentful. You want to run away and hide when they’re around. You’ve been told to detach, or disengage. You do so, pissed off that you can’t live the life you want, that you can’t have the family you want, that you can’t “blend” effectively. Maybe you feel like you’ve failed in some way. Maybe your partner doesn’t get it, and thinks you’ve given up or don’t care. You’ve detached. You’ve disengaged, you act indifferent, because that’s what you were told to do. It’s actually not easy. You feel like more of a failure. You’re unhappy. Now what? If any of the above sounds like you, this post is for you my lovely. Not sure what disengagement is? Check out this post first. |
