I had to travel abroad for work for a day and a half and was anxious about leaving my toddler with my mum, who recently left an abusive relationship. Things are better now, but I was still worried.
I have stopped sharing much about my family because my boyfriend often says there is always something wrong with everyone around me. I usually handle things myself, but I would still like to be able to vent and feel supported by my partner.
I am wondering if I was being too intense or simply trying to communicate openly.

I just thought the “as always” was super dismissive and then he didn’t acknowledge how I felt - even if he disagrees.
