End of Piecing?

[Mom of 2 Cherubs]

Just FYI - HFF and i discussed this - no it wasn't the best way to present it to him, BUT it worked...we talked when he got home from work. He had time to read it, process what i was saying and reflect on it. It's been the same with another ituation recently, he read my diary. I wrote in it all the things i wanted to tell him but just couldn't do it face to face. Cowardly - maybe - but this "tactic" right now is working for us.

I would never saythis is the way to do things all the time, but right now there isn't that knee jerk reaction to fly off the handle if something is said that offends or upsets us. gives some time to read and reflect without the other person shutting down as a result of body language or something like that.
