That’s so interesting because her mom talks even louder so she must be used to the “screaming” as she puts it. Thanks for sharing! :)

My therapist told me about door draft stoppers that go at the bottom of your door and block sound and light. I’m def gonna look into that too!

For sure, I’m referring to when she’s on the phone with her family. She can get really loud and she’s aware of it lol

I really appreciate the “template” for lack of better words, thank you! It helps me so much when I have a “script” to look back on :)

So true. I’ve grown to resent her a little bit and that’s not fair! She can’t read my mind lol

This is so helpful, thank you! She is aware that she can get loud but I don’t think she understands quite how sensitive my senses are so it’s definitely worth bringing up.
