Thanks Kathy. We have known each other professionally for almost 2 years, but personally going on 10 months or so? Dating for 8.
So I ran into a conundrum today. Things in my life continue to get worse, specifically with a custody battle over my son. She has been a great help and support to me through it all this time. Given what has happened this week, and being on hold, I have kept the newest revelations to myself.
However, she knew something was wrong with me (she's very intuitive) and asked me what was going on with my son. I really wanted to just bust out all the details, but held back soem of it. I couldn't help myself but to say what was going on though. I told her not to worry about it, that I would take care of it. She ended up rolling her eyes at me when I hesitated to answer.
So what do you do when the sufferer is asking for more information, but you know that saying it might bring more pressure on her? She says she wants to know, she is interested in it, and wants to be there for me knowing I need to vent and talk about it.
How do I handle that?
