Just wanted to share a success! My ndad came into the house huffing and puffing, passive aggressively slamming the door while carrying in groceries. Ignored my “hello,” and was just going back and forth. I had this sense that he was wanting to offload frustration / scapegoat / blame me for SOMETHING not going right in his life.
In the past I would have stuck around, bore whatever blame out he’d dish out of pity for him or to resolve it. Instead, I just grabbed my coffee ☕️ ignored him and ran! lol. I noticed while he was walking around me angrily physically turning away and ignoring him helped.
A small but fun win for me.
