Mila, Just wanted to remind you of this incident two months ago:
Quote:
I stayed in my car and after he talked to D for a bit he came up to my car and accusingly said "You won't let D drive your car?" The tone and the look he gave me was so judgmental....he made me feel like the worst mother...like if I was denying D the basic necessities of life. I got upset....I guess the way he talked to me brought back memories of the past year when he constantly criticized me and I reacted and angrily said "That's none of your business, that's between me and D" and I drove off. Boy was I boiling. When I calmed down I thought that I probably overreacted a bit, but by the time I got back home there was an apology e-mail from H in my mailbox.
H - about your car. I told D that I understand your reasoning for not letting her drive your car until she is more experienced. If I spent any time thinking about it before, I would not be asking you. If I came across as questioning you... I apologize, that wasn’t my intent.

This seems like a small incident... But somehow it struck me as significant. H seems to be more sensitive to my feelings and is willing to admit a mistakes and apologize. We are both trying to communicate better....
