Yep. I think "I plan to give them the specifics tonight. Just finalizing the hotel, etc. Have a great trip.", would have been a better response. I just am putting forth more effort to correct her on this mind-reading stuff whenever she does it. I'm also setting up boundries, as I've posted here, as far as acceptable communication goes. I feel better for doing these things, and it's certainly different than the way I've allowed the communication to go between us since she left. I feel stronger...and when I get something from her that's hurtful, I find myself being better able to just shed it like water off a duck's back. We've had a couple of face to face meetings recently, and I feel like I've done OK. I certainly appreciate your input. Sometimes those people who have no emotional investment in a situation are able to see it with more clarity than those of us who are emotionally invested in it. Thanks mnt_dreams.
