CityGirl you are right I did threaten the mediator and on purpose. My point was if this is hopeless I will go and we can get this ball rolling. The tone did change. So be it.
Can anyone offer suggestions on how to move forward with this?
Maybe I will leave the money thing for a bit and say I just want to make sure that we are careful with all of this in the air.
Can anyone please offer a solid / clear suggestion on how to support her with this job.
I can see that I need to work in steps here.
1. Get her to be my friend again. Listen, support, validate, not control (I do have a bad habit of doing that passively)
