OK, you have come to the right place for help. First off, have you read DR yet?
Could you explain a little bit more about what it was that your W was asking from you? What did she need positive reenforcement for? I am asking because it's hard to give advice without a few more details.
Keep reading the stories in here and all the great advice that goes with them. Everyone here is here for the same reason. Big hugs to you.
