I don't.
Even though I hurt myself because I was angry, the anger and the hurting myself had to do with being enraged in not being able to communicate how bad I was really feeling. At not being taken seriously. At having things that were important to me dismissed. At maybe him not caring as much as I do.
I genuinely love the stupid guy. As my therapist mommy, perhaps, but I still love him no matter how big an idiot he might be.
I want him to listen and understand. I don't want to actually hurt him.
If he were to terminate me, I think the anger and the acting out would be the same. An attempt to communicate, not an attempt to harm him.
