Thinker: As I wrote up-thread MC Session #1 was uncomfortable. MC started by observing how distant we were by our body language. W spent the entire session with arms crossed, wouldn't look at me. I tried to affirm her comments during her time by nodding, agreeing when MC asked me my point of view (if I agreed w/ what W said) and to present my own POV when I thought W misrepresented some important things. @ the end of the session W agreed to Session #2 only by gritting her teeth. MC was very clear that, at the end of process -- which could have been Session #1, could be Session #2, could be session #100 -- D will still be the answer. Okay. What else can you do?
W just came in to tell me that she's leaving for work. "Okay, enjoy your day." I going to work HARD starting today on disengaging. I set up a folder in my email client and a processing rule so that all her emails -- not that she sends many/any anymore -- go to the folder and I don't have to be confronted with them "right there." I'm not going to call. Honestly I'm not even sure if I will answer her calls (not that she calls anymore). If she calls she can leave a voice message.
