Crumbling Family Rock
So whenever we ask "why" we get the "I don't know" answer. Last night I had a decent conversation with Eris about feelings and her behavior, then she went into talk to her dad about whatever it was she did (which I don't even remember right now, too much on my mind) and when husband asked if she knew how it made him feel she said "angry". When he asked her why she said "I don't know". I stopped him before he blew up at it and tried to tell him that seems like a typical answer for a kid in her situation.
But what does that really mean? How do you deal with it? How do you get the real reason out? Do you just accept the answer and move on? I am really trying hard to help her get the words out of how she's feeling, but I feel that answer is a stalemate and I don't want her to use it forever. How do you get past it?
