Why is it always your past?

This week on the podcast Joe and I wanted to go a little deeper in to our story and the things that we have struggled with.  Namely, his “past”.  Early in our marriage, the trauma from his past got brought up a lot.  Maybe we should have given it a name since we talked about it so much.  

We knew the trauma he had experienced as a child affected him and his emotions greatly.  We don’t doubt that at all.  I understood that and I always wanted to show him compassion, but it also became frustrating. From my perspective, it began to feel like his past was the culprit in everything.  He wasn’t being rude, he was just struggling with his past.  I felt like Joe always had a pass because of what he had been through.

So one day I asked the question that needed to be asked.
