I feel rediculous
I am all emotional because I am sad that after being away for a week, my husband and daughter were more excited to be home and see the dogs than to see me. Or at least that is how it felt to me big time. Had to go shut myself in my room to try to calm down. I really dont understand why Im so upset.
Hi lavenderMelon885!
You did good in taking your time to calm down. It's possible that the worry and anxiety gathered up in you, maybe even invisibly, during that 1 week when they were away, so when they showed up kind of "exploded" and made you feel more receptive to emotional stimulations. So they way you feel is very much understandable.
The way we feel towards things are different. For example I like my favorite mug and I might miss it if I somehow end up being unable to use it for a while. I also like my friend and I will miss her if I dont see her for a while. However the type of affection I have for my mug and for my friend are different, so the way I will express my longing to each one of them will also be different. This is probably what happened with your husband and daughter. I'm sure they missed you as well and more than the house and the dogs, but they probably express it differently because you hold a much deeper place in their mind than the house and the dogs. They'll forget about the dogs and the house in a day, however they'll be grateful that you are by their side for all their lives.
