Hi JG,
I don't see how making two honest and factual statements about your childhood could be perceived as transferring your anxiety...
...but to be fair, maybe your wife was referring to the way you retold the events...IDK?
My husband will sometimes tell me I am negative, when in fact I think I am simply being realistic , or just giving out a neutral vibe.
It is hard for me to decide if I am really acting negative/anxious...or if this is simply an easy card for him to play.
I try to really step back and observe myself to see if he is valid at times...and he is!
...and other times, I have stood up for myself when I know he is off base!.;)
I don't know about your situation of course not being there...but I do encourage you to look at it from all angles and observe first...react second.
With understanding,
S.C.
