IN RETROSPECT … 1. I needed to feel like you were listening. 2. I needed to feel like you were being patient with me. 3. I needed to feel like you wouldn’t overreact. 4. I needed you to tell me you loved me. 5. I needed a break from talking. 6. I needed to feel like you validated my point of view, even a little bit. 7. I needed to feel like you respected me. 8. I needed to feel I had your support and empathy.
