I can understand validating anger, at a third party, like "rain".
Not sure how I can validate anger, when the apparent target is me.

I did try to validate her views on the underlying issue we had conflict on. I guess that's how come she talked about it as long as she did, before going to "Tell me about the school thing!" mode.
In some ways, it was an amazing improvement over past attempts at talking about an issue. I think that in the past, she would have blown up a lot sooner, but she was tired, too.

Hope she's feeling better today.
Probably wont get to talk to her until tomorrow. that could be a good thing i suppose.
