Acting Strangely....What to do....



What do you do when someone you love acts out of character. I didn't want to write "starts to act out of character" because this has been going on for quite some time now.

She's become short tempered, easily frustrated and hates other people. I don't ever recall her stating she's ever "hated" anyone.

Perhaps it's as simple as stress, a one off type of deal and things will get back to normal. I'm hoping this is the case.

I have a feeling that it is not though. I feel that this more of a deeply seeded type of thing. Something that has festered over time and has started to unveil itself. What has triggered this off? Again, I can only speculate. Bad influences? Maybe. Drugs? Possibly. Psychological? Perhaps.

The one thing I know, is that I love her very much, and do not like to see her this way. I do not like the tone she's taken with me lately...not that I'm her mother mind you...but you know what I mean. She's different. I just wish she would go back, realize some of the hurtful things she has said/done and make amends. At the end of the day, I hope she sees that I've supported her completely, even if I haven't supported some of the decisions she's made in the past.

Perhaps you can talk to her and ask her if something is bothering her lately. Maybe a new job, new baby, some kind of new stress?

Sometimes they don't even realize how much their attitudes have changed. Sometimes they think they're really miserable but nobody understands or notices. Maybe she needs to meet up for some coffee?

It is interesting how we have a tendency to attribute a "change" in behaviour to drugs, bad influences, or psychological issues. I suggest reading "The Politics of the Family" by R.D. Laing. It is a compilation of his CBC Lectures. It may bring to you a new perspective, whether you accept it or not.
