When talking to A recently about her wondering if my emotions ever felt like a burden, M came up and she said “no, that’s a burden ON HER,” and reiterated asking if they felt like a burden on me. I think I was clear about this in that entry, but the distinction has been interesting hence. Years ago I came to realize the ways I could have satisfied what M really wanted, that is what she wanted but wasn’t communicating directly. That has come full circle recently, as I give a nod to what M says, which isn’t the same as how she acts. There isn’t anything to be said about it, because she is not interested in the conversation. So I must draw the lines, and redraw the lines on my one. Kind of like an emotional sketch artist.
