At first, like I said, I just thought the problem was me. Why was I getting so frustrated? I thought I needed to work on my patience. So, I did. But things didn’t get better. So, I thought I needed to work on my expectations. Maybe they were too high? Then I found out that expectations are sometimes simmering resentments in disguise. Ouch. So, I changed my phraseology from “expectations” to “needs and desires.” That helped, until it didn’t.
