Communication at home.

Home can evoke a variety of emotions for different people. For me, it generally holds positive feelings and a knowing that I am safe there. However, having moved "home," aka back in with my parents, it is not easy. Not easy for me, but not easy for them either.  A definite loss of independence, along with feelings that I'm constantly being watched or what I'm doing isn't good enough, or should be doing more. That was the issue today. Mom freaked because she feels like she does everything around the house and no one helps her, etc.  What I wish more than anything is that we could all communicate better.  Mom could communicate her expectations clearly and concisely, and communicate when she is not happy about something. Dad could just communicate his feelings better in general. And I could improve my communication as well, though I don't think I need to disclose my every move or conversation.  Bottom line, communication is of utmost importance if the three of us are going to maintain sanity.  Let's hope we do.
