this isn't a communication course. it's a practical, real time guide for the person who has read every communication tip on the internet and is still having the same fight. again. still. again.
It's 10.47pm.
You're lying in bed and you've got that feeling again. The one that sits somewhere between exhausted and resentful and guilty and you can't quite separate them anymore because they've been living together for so long.
The kids didn't listen today. Again. You said the thing seventeen times and nothing happened until you completely lost your mind about it. You hate that it got to that point, again. And now you're lying here feeling like an absolute monster.
And somewhere in the back of your head is the thing you don't really want to look at too closely.
That it's starting to feel like you against them.
Like you're the bad guy in your own house.
Like the kids are pulling away from you, or they're so obsessed with you that you're drowning in it and you feel guilty for wanting five minutes where nobody needs anything from you.
And next to you, on the other side of the bed, is someone you used to talk to. And now you're more like very tired roommates who are excellent at managing a shared schedule and terrible at everything else.
You know it's an issue. You can feel the gap. But you have no idea how to start closing it and honestly, the kids are so hard right now that it's easier to make that the reason.
The kids are the reason.
The kids take everything.
It'll get better when they're older.
...Right?
So you lie there. Exhausted. Resentful. Guilty. Invisible. Wondering how it got like this and whether it's ever going to feel different.
