[*]Realizing that W is not as dedicated as me to stopping escalations - and when the two of them get into it, withdrawing from the fallout zone as quickly as possible.
Hey Rob - you know back when i battled with my kids on a daily basis...I always hoped that my W would jump in and help in some way. I felt abandoned to deal with them on my own. And I'm not suggesting that you jump in all the time...but maybe you can teach the W some of the skills you have learned. Just a thought....
