Treading water - time and patience

[NYCPeter]

I am honored that everyone has taken the time to respond to my threads and offered such good advice. It seems like I have a group of guardian angels looking out for my best interests.

KD & H - I will try to take on board what you have said re: communication, it does not come naturally to me so the repeat, validate approach seems to be a template that I can always try to follow. Usually when in a tricky situation I've tried to use humour to defuse / deflect the issue - that's not always the best approach.

Accuray - great point re: perception, I am an open book because I am honest about my feelings and don't hesitate to show them. I can also be passive aggresive and that's a trait no-one likes, I have worked very hard to eliminate that but at times it bubbles to the surface.

Getting anxious about tomorrow and moving back to the house - I hope my W is more receptive than she has been, if she isn't then I need to remind myself that's her decision and I cannot control it.
