Communicate with me like a functional, healthy-minded adult. No temper tantrums, or when I ask you what is wrong, don’t say “nothing” and then continue to pout like a child. I can’t read minds. If you have a problem with something that I have done, tell me. Don’t bottle it up and then months later explode at me out of nowhere. I also have memory problems, if you’ve told me not to do something and I forget months later and do that thing again, simply remind me that you do not want me to do it. Don’t be rude to me about it, and don’t convince yourself that I’m doing that thing again just to spite you. I’m only human, my memory issues are not something that I control, and I cannot pick and choose what I remember and what I forget.
