I have had no contact with her in 2 weeks and I will not be the one to break the silence. I just feel lost as to how to handle the contact when it does come. I guessing I'll have to do a 180. Not for her mind ya, but for me. I can't sound bitter or that I hurting. I must be short in my replies and not veer into R talk
How about you just listen?
Someone once told me in these situations, "Ask nothing; give nothing." I think that's about right. Just listen, and if she starts to go off on you disrespectfully or rudely, end the conversation, but if she keeps herself together, just listen. 90% of what she says will probably be fog and deflection, but in the other 10% there may be clues as to what she's feeling/thinking/doing.
