if you're me, you OVERreact, I guess....
Got to keep buying sneakers to be able to keep running away from my problems...
Okay, done pitying myself for the moment...
I guess if it was a comment that was threatening, (and I wasn't afraid of confrontations of any sort), I would walk over to the other side of the room and calmly tell him that he has no right to disrespect me by treating me like a child whom he plans to punish. I would tell him that only animals and small children without the capacity to reason have to resort to physical violence or threats of physical violence. I would let him see that indeed HE is the one acting like a child.
Wow, wish I could only DO what I just said....
But my baggage tells me that if I open my mouth at all, only bad will happen...Gotta get rid of that baggage somehow- the way I react (or not) shows that BOTH of us engaged in this type of situation are acting like children and I hate not be able to be the adult I am...Don't know if I helped any, AdaGrace, but maybe you can take the advice that I can't...
