Dear t:

“He’s pretty emotionally disconnected and tells me he often doesn’t know what he’s feeling until after the emotion has passed… I think maybe he’s found this relationship unexpectedly demanding“- the relationship demand more of him, emotionally, than he can deliver, being that he is emotionally disconnected.

“I am very sensitive and anxious to begin with, so I haven’t handled it well either. I’m bothered by how much has been lurking and have been feeling very emotional and pessimistic lately.“- tell me more about you feeling very emotional and pessimistic lately.. is it how you felt growing up with your mother?

I find that having lived through a difficult/ traumatic childhood, people- as adults- keep re-living the same childhood emotional experience in adult circumstances. Do you find this to be true?
