She made the analogy of riding out the storm. Said he was deliberately pushing my buttons to get reactions out of me, and the best thing I could do to thwart him was to NOT react (which was a 180 for me). If he was really being mean, I could say that I had to go and hang up or get off IM. But mostly I had to wait him out, just be more patient than him, and he would get frustrated when I didn't react.

Kind of like dealing with a 3 yr old! \:D

She suggested that the best thing I could do was be supportive from afar. Of course, this was last fall and my stitch has improved in many ways since then. But I think her advice is still good. I haven't been to see her in a while - I'm getting the same kind of venting/validation on here for free lol.
