Something has been bothering for several months. I have been trying to
roll what someone said over and over in my head searching for a nice
way to hear it. I will refrain from saying what I am thinking and try
to be open to others interprtations.

MIL to my DH, "it's too bad none of your children got your disposition."

Thanks for any insight.

MIL to DH: "You are a wonderful person with qualities I admire. I probably forced you to showcase those qualities, because I only wanted you to show me the ones I liked. You'd get the message I didn't love you if you showed me anything else. It's tiring being around people who are free to be who they are; I was taught it's wrong to be loud, or angry, or to have any strong feelings whatsoever. I wish everyone would conform to what I'm comfortable with."

(just guessing, obviously)

Omg Caren. That was beautiful and really opened up a few new thoughts
to focus on. Feeling much less unstuck now :-)
