W let off some anger with me (on the phone) and I just listened. It was way out of proportion with the issues at hand. At the end, I said "thanks for sharing". I may have gotten a little more out of her with a "Ahhhh I see" or similar, but it was a start. This is first time she poped for many months. I CHOOSE not to feed the fire. A very good feeling. I also stuck to my beliefs and did not try and "MAKE HER HAPPY". This also felt nice. I feel liberated!!!!
I also got a small smile from W at the church today. I am not reading anything into it, but I did notice it......
