Still no response from the text above that I sent to her. This type of communication, on my part, is so different from the way I used to communicate with her. I don't take the bait, I don't fight, and I don't argue. I listen and validate, and I try to be truly compassionate.

These type of texts that she sends to me occasionally...they do hurt. But I put forth a lot of effort to have the right kind of attitude, and usually wind up shedding them like water off a duck's back. And I appreciate the feedback, advice, and example responses that you folks help me out with. Thank You!
