Ok, I cheered for defense in high school, but defensive? No. To me, being defensive is a sign of guilt, an admission of wrong-doing. So, when I come to you to TALK about something, no need to get defensive...unless you're guilty. I wish people would give up the fight, would learn it's not worth it. It's a lot easier to just get along than to constantly battle. As a family, it's better to talk things through, not get DEFENSIVE when someone tries to talk to you. I was only trying to share my feelings, communicate, and hopefully come to an understanding. But, obviously it's used as a way to cut ties.
Well, consider them cut. I have no need for that in my life. I promise, it will hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.
