DbyD,

Are you able to share the effective responses to crazymaking? Hang in there.




2B, my C suggested I read "Controlling People" by Patricia Evans since I'm dealing with not only a controlling H, but a controlling dad.

Here are a couple of the "effective responses":

What did you say?
That doesn't work for me.
Hold it. Do you hear yourself?
Do you feel better now that you said that?
I don't understand what that means.
That feels hurtful. I am sure you did not mean to be hurtful...


Hope these help.
