I know you wanted a few more months to calm down enough that you wouldn't pitch a toddler temper tantrum every time I failed to read your mind, but you've used up your quota of talking me into doing things that I don't want to do. My mistake was in trying to please the unpleasable.

Walking on eggshells not to upset someone is a symptom of abuse. Feeling like your feelings and opinions are rarely validated is also a symptom. Feeling like you're unable to discuss problems is also a sign. Every time I tried to politely open a conversation about the problems I was having, you either ignored or attacked me.

I'm using up the last shred of respect I have for you, (and a promise not to let things fester,) to warn you that by next fall, your abuse may be irredeemable. You may still choose to wait until then to have a civilized discussion about what you did wrong. I encourage you to take a full week to think about it.
