I'll work on not letting myself get hooked into her comments, and try to stay focused on problem-solving. If she gets disrespectful, I'll wait until another time to help her with this problem.

Hi CL, glad to hear you're not buying into her blame, and maintaining your mutually-respectful boundaries. Hopefully as she continues to see you model them, she'll follow suit.

PS Thank you also for all your support today - it meant a lot and you gave me many good ideas to consider.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
