My dad struggles to articulate his needs. And he defaults to passive aggressive language. I have found that #3 works best for us. He loves me and wants the best for me, so I take what he says at face value. If he needs to express something, it’s not my responsibility to drag it out of him. Thanks for this one!
Thank you! I have 3 grown daughters, 2 of which are professional PA women. I mean, they both have Masters in it! Strangely enough, it’s my ‘middle child’ who’s happy, carefree, loving, and gets the bulk of their aggression. I’ll be sending this on!
