These last 5 days I’ve been really down. It started with a disagreement I had with my mom and those low feelings didn’t go away and I felt in a funk. Today I had a huge argument with my dad over the way he treats some of my family members and that just added onto my already down mood and funk.

My partner has been out of town the last 3 days on a road trip with her nephew because he was dumped by his gf and his parents have been having arguments so she wanted to distract him. She came back into town and I told her what had happened and how I felt as a result of all that and her response was “shake it off baby, you’re stronger than that” and “grow some balls, you complain about your parents but don’t change it.” I can’t help but feel like my feelings weren’t validated. Like when others are in need she’s fully present but I’m in need of that support and I get told comments like that instead. What do you guys think?
