Great point @ W reacting to her parents being nice to me. I thought it couldhave been her being angry they were being nice to me despite her wanting to leave (IF she is still at that point, which I doubt). Don't know, could have been a jealousy thing. Could be my misperception, but it sure seemed like she needed to take me down a notch in front of them. I was not acting ANY differently than I ever have around my in-laws.
AGain, it could be "why are my parents so nice to H, but so critical of me? Why can't they be nice to me?"
Again, this would be her issue, for therapy. Not about you. Have compassion. Perhaps offer to let her know that it must seem unfair and painful right now if her parents aren't supporting her in the way she needs.
Oh, and throw in a compliment. You'll be the "good father projection" then. Am I making any sense?
