Keep short books with your feelings. Stay up-to-date. Find ways of reporting feelings as they occur. Experiment in saying both what you feel and what you really want. "I do care about you. I want to be close. . I want more time together. . I need to tell you when I'm angry. Love me enough to listen to me . . .
