10 Minute Daily Reality Check

I relate to how this message is. Growing up with my family there's always been this communication struggle in the home. What needs to be said doesn't get said and asking questions is seen as an attack or an annoyance. Even now when I go back to visit I can see the old poor communication habits, or lack thereof didn't die. Example: My stepfather and mother would let me use their car to take a trip to the store go to places I need to go. My stepfather will get paranoid about me putting too much mileage on the car yet he says it's ok for me to drive it, and I am always telling them where exactly I am going and he knows exactly where I am going. So if I ask my stepfather how many miles exactly is the limit to drive the car he will just act irritated and not tell me. I am a responsible adult and want to communicate but it's taken in a negative way. This is just an example of how communication breaks down in my experience. Is it annoying, hell yeah!
