I have not had much contact with W this weekend. Actually none since Thursday until she texted me yesterday evening asking how the Open House went. I waited about 15-20 minutes, and just replied with, "That was yesterday, and no one came to it." All she responded with was, "Ok. Thx."
I have a really hard time knowing what to say when she keeps throwing grenades. Any suggestions?
Hummmm.... that repsonse sounds angry, and it makes you sound like someone to be pitied. Even if it did suck, I probably would have replied with something like.... "Great! Very busy!!! Thx for asking," and then I'd stop corresponding because I'd be too busy living my life.
As far as what to say when she throws a grenade. My responses when my husband thrust knives in me, or said crazy nutty things that made no sense..
"Yes, I hear what you are saying." "I'm sorry it came across that way." "I understand."
Detach, never take anything personal, don't bother confronting crazy people.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
