  • I guess you need to give them time to process what you have already said, before moving on to the next thing. I imagine once you had opened up, your mind was in overdrive thinking of all the things that you didn't say and, fresh from the catharsis of saying what you had already said, you wanted to get these other things off your chest too?

       I opened up about my sensory processing issues around cooking dinner (for them) which was ok so  next day  when i got overwhemed with tobacco smoke in the house i thought it would be safe to mention it, but sadly this was perceived as a slight.

    I was wondering if it might not have been down to timing then of when you brought it up - people can get very aggressive over anything connected to an addiction of theirs. 

    If you are having to deal with smoking in the house it's really unfair, as it's not just horrible smell there is real health risk from second hand smoke. I feel for you trying to deal with it.
