On Figurative Ledge - Talk Me Down?

[Denver_2010]

If it were me faced with your dilemna, I think I would consider sending her a little irreverent note or card if you can find the right occasion, something light but meaningful between the two of you, like an 'in' joke.

I'd suggest you see what her reaction is and do more of what works. If she is as stubborn as you say, it could be that the small initiative she took at Christmas was more meaningful than it might have otherwise appeared.

Good luck with this.

Thanks Edmond. I'm clueless to WTF is going through her head. Sandi, Truegritter, Bond, Pickle, what do you guys think?

Anyone other ideas out there? This conversation w FIL has me very confused as to my next move...
