Miscommunication

I'm sure that in families without PTSD interference, a simple miscommunication blows over very fast and can be worked out without drama. I find that it isn't quite that simple for us.

Lately it seems that messages aren't getting through for some reason, and that is driving me crazy. I have been told several times that I didn't say something to my husband when I remember doing so, and vice versa.  This hasn't really happened to us before, this one's new!  Most of it is very simple stuff too.  Our toddler learned to climb from the couch onto his high chair and sit down in it.  He did this a few days ago for the first time and I remember telling my husband about it.  Well he did it in front of my husband for the first time this morning and when he came to tell me and I reminded him that it wasn't the first time, I was told that I had not informed him so it was surprising for him.  This came as he was walking away from me.  I hate it when he walks away from me like that.  I fully understand that you're frustrated but walking away in that kind of manner just makes things a million times worse.  And because I know he reads my blogs, I'll admit that sometimes I'm guilty of it too. 

Apparently today was an "I want to shut my brain off" kind of day for him and he didn't communicate that to me so I tried to deal with this issue and it didn't go over well at all.  I interrupted his video game and that was like the end of the world.  I'm fully aware that this sounds ridiculous.  I'll admit that I have times where I try to escape from reality with a book or a movie and I don't like to be interrupted either but I try not to get upset about it.  Most of our disagreements stem from some insignificant miscommunication and turn into these huge ordeals instead of being discussed immediately, we're working on this issue but it's definitely not solved yet.

I adore my husband so I will work through these things with him but it sure would make life easier if we could have our miscommunications dealt with quickly and painlessly!
