Having Someone Understand

Having Someone Understand

Maybe when you are frustrated about work, or a relationship, finances, or general life direction, it’s as simple as having someone understand.

Ugh.

So glad I have my wife as a sounding board for these kind of things.

I probably drive her nuts with all my sentences that start with “I really wish that we could…“

Sometimes just having someone understand how much you want something makes reality easier to bear.

-Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk (Amazon)
