"Your OCD's showing." "More like ACD"
Backstory
OCD: Only Child Disorder (acting like a stereotypical only child)In my family whenever someone (a kid) acts like the world revolves around them or they start complaining about something stupid my dad and uncles always say "your/their OCD is showing" well my dad decided to throw that out during an argument with me earlier and it turned into "more like ACD abandoned child disorder, or how about abused child disorder."
That shut him up for a while... and I'm pretty sure I'm in trouble for throwing that at him....

Be careful of the words you use as weapons. That was like a bomb.BecomingLogyn says,
Yeah, I realized that after I said it. I regret saying it, but I also kinda don't... because I have never actually talked to him about it or even brought it up... But either way I don't know...ba_miracle says,
I think at some point (when heads are cooler :-)it is absolutely something that should be discussed. Maybe with a counselor the first few times, mainly to give you both a "safe" place to talk about some painful things, also to get some tools for communicating about it in the future.All the things that are kept under the surface usually fester with resentment and come out in ugly ways.
Not talking about it doesn't "fool" anyone and frequently makes everything worse.
It's hard though...to be heard and to hear some truths without feeling like you want to defend yourself.

As much as I believe that you're right, I also know it's never going to happen. He thinks that if you ignore something long enough that it will go away, he also doesn't believe in counseling or anything of the sort.
