Goodness you get grumpy when I start getting close to those hurts and fears... go easy, buddy. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm not arguing with you, I'm not blaming you, I have a lot of respect for the fact that you show up here and tell us all you do about the state of your M... and you are trying to fix it.

I think what I have been saying is exactly what you said. I do talk and listen to her, almost everyday, about what went on at her work. I will listen at times up to 30 minutes, depending on what she has to say. Sometimes it is only 5 minutes. IT is usually a one way conversation. I ask a few questions to show some interest, but it mostly bores the heck out of me. But I do it.
Excellent. I'm glad to hear this.
Now. Next point. Each time you start a discussion with her, do you TELL her... YOUR internal state, and how much time you can give her? So she knows, each time? You eventually won't have to do this, but for now... I think it would not only help HER, it would help you... so YOU feel understood and respected when she DOES do it.
