Dear Storm:

Good day to you too! “In terms of eggshells and not relaxing.. Yes all the time“- I am guessing that it’s the way you grew up, walking on eggshells, and it became a habit.

I grew up walking on eggshells, never knowing when and where something I said or didn’t say (but should have said, according to my mother)/ when and where an expression on my face would be the wrong expression (in her mind), never knowing when her next explosion of histrionic poor-me displays were going to take place, where she will blame me for hurting her feelings and making her miserable. It was a horrible way to live, day in and day out!
