Bridge = I don't quite understand your comment? are you saying he's only interested in a one way conversation? Ugh. Could be. Yea, that's not going to be fun.
I read this on one of your threads, and it summarizes how I feel: " My current philosophy is: it is almost impossible for us to tackle the major issues of the R without more effective communications tools." And when you're dealing with a verbally abusive person, this is all the more critical.
Freckle -= ya, could be like a teenager - it's a good way to see it. He did change his behavior although he balked the whole time.
I still wish he could understand that being spoken to in a kind and thoughtful manner is all I ever really wanted. How deeply proufound that is for me. He never will. But I'll take the behavior change. It makes what ever we have to deal with so much better.
