Yeah. Having the same argument language is incredibly important.

I'm an only child and had very rational logical parents--as a result when one of them got angry, they wanted space to calm down, think, and then mete out punishment based on the situation, not anger. Psychobitch, unfortunately, was not as rational. If you were silent, it was because you were guilty ("You don't love me!" <silence> "You never did!" <silence> "Why didn't you tell me you didn't want to be with me?" <silence>). Eventually, I did get upset and snapped back at her. The response? "You don't have to yell at me, why do you have to be abusive like this?".


Wimmins.
