Question ... on family day, or at some appropriate time, should I slip something in about us being able to talk, if he wants, without the MC present - not actually start a R talk, but let him know that I'm open if he needs to say something? Or should I just BE available for the conversation if and when he wants it?
If he wants to talk, can you listen?
Seems like an EASY question.
It's not that easy.
I'm not trying to offend you either.
It actually VERY hard NOT to get into an R talk, or defend or get emotional even with a C present...harder without one at first.
I like Grace's suggestion AND modus operandi.
