How do we stop fighting over nothing after fleeing war?
we used to never argue like this but since we left home and got stuck in this limbo waiting for papers everything feels like a battle one minute were talking about dinner the next were screaming about who left the lights on and it’s not even about the lights it’s everything the stress the fear the not knowing if we can stay or have to move again next month my partner says i shut down and i say they nag but honestly i just can’t talk when im this exhausted we lost our jobs our friends our apartment back there and now we’re stuck in a tiny flat and every time we try to have a real talk it turns into a fight i snapped at them yesterday for no reason just because they asked if i wanted tea like who fights over tea we love each other i know we do but right now it feels like were drowning and pulling each other under instead of holding on it’s scary because i don’t recognize us anymore and i don’t know how to fix it without breaking first
