I used to be a very emotional person. As a preteen and teenager, anything would make me cry. I didn’t really notice it until last night, but after thinking about it for awhile, I haven’t had a good, real cry in years! (Probably 3-4 years actually) I’m happily married for ten years and have six wonderful kids, I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant with our seventh. I get emotional and choked up at simple things, but it stops there. No tears. I’ve lost some family members, some very close to me. And I’ll shed a few tears and cry for a minute or two, then I’m fine. My baby was sick and needed surgery, I was scared and sad but I didn’t cry. I got choked up when they put her under anesthesia and I had to walk away but, no tears. I get happy. I get sad. I get angry. Since right after Xmas, we have been getting bad news after bad news that seems to keep strong worse. The new house we just bough 9 months ago has severe water damage and is in the process of being remodeled. We are staying in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment for at least a month since the house uninhabitable while under construction. I’m angry! I don’t cry. Well, last night I tried complaining and venting to my husband and he was not supportive at all, he got defensive and said some really stupid things that hurt me. I said some stupid things too. I was furious! I shed a few tears, less than a minute. Why can’t I show my emotions? I have them but for some reason I seem to bottle them up and not let them show. I usually just say I’m fine or to leave me alone
