I think your conversation about communication wasn't too bad, but as a little different perspective, you in hindsight, it would've been better to keep it focused on you and how you feel instead. The way you phrased it you're kind of trying to say she's "wrong" and that she should think the way you are. Dunno if that makes sense (and I am really bad at it myself). But what if you said something about how you agree that communication is the issue (validating), then say you are glad communication skills are something that you can learn, and maybe mention how you plan to work on it (yourself, not bringing her or the R/M into it). (i.e. "I agree, and I'm glad communication skills can be learned. I'm looking forward to XYZ to help me get better with that")
I dunno, just kind of rambling, but hope that makes some sense.
Definitely keep detaching and remember to take care of you.
