picturestshirt: In this family no one lights alone shirt

I’m re-reading incest survivor Marilyn van Derbur’s book, Miss America by Day, In this family, no one lights alone shirt. and so much of what you’re saying rings true. I’m not saying that’s what happened to you, but people with childhood traumas have holes to fill, and lord, do we ever fill them! I think we have very little training culturally about effective communication and negotiation in marriage. When someone describes good communication, it’s novel. Wow, this advice could work in so many scenarios. It’s like a how-to marriage guide. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this.

They also get to choose the taking down music. I wonder if giving her a specific decoration budget wouldn’t also be better than a zero budget? Maybe combined with trips to thrift shops (where maybe you can also get credit for old decorations?), to get the “shopping bug,” out without going into debt. It’s also a great opportunity for the husband and the kids to share their feelings on the decorations they like best (if they have any). I feel like most of the time we just tell our mothers/wives that “everything looks so great” during the holidays and if we gave specific feedback and create an emotional connection to the objects, that might encourage her to reuse some of those items even if she has a shopping compulsion. I have a family member who went through this. she ended up going to therapy
