feel free to say "Wow, I sure don't recall it that way but I'm sorry you were hurt/felt ignored/etc"
and "If I had it to do over, I'd do a lot of things differently"...but when she persists,
Say "Hey I already apologized for x & Y and meant it. But I can't stay stuck in the past. So, back to what I was saying..."
and if she STILL persists, say the above part about apologizing already and say "though I owned my part, I don't stay focussed on what YOU did or how you hurt me b/c I don't want to stay stuck in the past...so now, back to what I was saying..."
and don't let her suck you back into the past...and myk
take your own advice too!!!
You know this, so I won't belabor the point. Glad you said you were not hoping for her to come back...
was it THEN that she kept on about the past? B/C then it's really not relevant and you might want to ask her
"why are you talking about the past when the only future we have is as co-parents?"
I don't know how she'll respond but I think she may listen...who knows?
Who knows why she feels the need to do on and on...enough already...
(Yawn, bored...)
