Thanks Grace ... I think I knew that when I bought it, and kinda bought it for me. It's how I feel and I like it, but I think I've known right from the start that giving it to him isn't a good idea. Funny it is!
I am a talker! I like the advice ... turn towards him, look him in the eyes, use the 'shut up and focus' mantra ... all great advice for me! It will take practise but I know I can do it. I also like that you don't even interupt to validate ...
Good stuff! Thanks!
He's here cutting grass ... before he leaves (or call him later or something) should I say something like "hey, I'm here to listen whenever you want to talk - we didn't see the MC today so if you wanna go for a walk on the beach or something we can do that" ....
