I'd yell, catastrophize ("Now the whole night is ruined!), storm off saying, "You guys would be better off without me!" and then come back later saying I wouldn't do that again. But I would. What I didn't realize was how I was holding my family hostage to MY emotions. If you recognize yourself in this podcast, you're not alone. Let's change this once and for all.
