Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your advice and understanding! You are right about ‘sounds like you don’t know how your words are received’. Thank you for giving words to how I feel but do not know how to describe it. I like your ‘in the meantime’ advice. I need to learn to quiet my mind by giving pause and be in my heart and then speak. Thank you!
Yes, I realized that rehashing past conversations can only leave me feeling worst, and I will always put in my own negative version of it. I need to learn to let go. Knowing that others support and understand my issues certainly helps. I am glad that I posted my issue here and have received kindness, understanding and support from you and others. Best wishes to you!
