Okay, I just interperated "crap" as you were there, she was talking and all you heard was "blah,blah'blah [yes dear I see your lips moving but not hear what you're saying].
Good, your clarification shows hope. i got on your original statement because that was a mistake I made, i wasn't listening, I wasn't validating and drove her to upgrade the EA with OM to a PA.
That said, continue as you are. It sounds as if you two can at least communicate effectively. How often do you? Who initiates it and how?
Not much communication at all right now. She initiates it, and it's always cursing and anger and rage directed at me regardless of the issue at hand. The only time we talk is when she calls to do this.
