Hi Rob, Well done with your response about the ring...When I was sharing one of my SBTX's negative episodes with my T his response was, "is she asking you any questions?" (I had shared an email with him). And since there was no question, there was no need for me to respond. I've since used that simple concept as my guide in responding to her. Whenever I get an email or text from her, I simply check - is she asking any questions, and if there are questions, are they practical or about my son...and then I proceed. It's made it very easy for me to ignore her most aggressive, accusatory emails in which she goes out her way to try to define.
That said, I slip up a bit yesterday when she picked up my baby boy - when I handed her his jacket and T-shirt she snipped, "You don't have to throw his things at me." I hadn't thrown anything at her - so I just looked her in the eyes and said, "I didn't throw anything at you. Stop lying." Maybe it was a mistake to say that - but it was just one of those moments when the words just came out...still, I think it's best not to play into the volatility.
Hope you're having a fine week, my friend, and I look forward to hearing about the next date!
