just off the phone with my friend. I feel a bit more confident about saturday. not great, mind you, but a bit more like I have some control over things. which I do. he has an agenda, one that he isn't willing to share right now. perfectly fine for me to listen and tell him I need time to process and will get back to him.
the hardest thing in the world for me is to not have a kneejerk reaction, to not have an emotional one, to not try to fix/answer/defend. but hopefully the prep work I am doing now will help pay off on saturday.
switching to Crucial Conversations tonight.
