Thanks, 2TP. I have been maintaining eye contact and validating like crazy. At times, she validates the validation saying something like, if you had only done that then we wouldn't be in this situation or we wouldn't be getting a D if you had made changes when I asked you the first 100 times. I then validate those statements. She actually asked me why I wasn't as up beat when I got home last night as I had been recently. I didn't say what I wanted to say (the obvious) I just rolled with it. I sense there is the tiniest of openings for us but her unwavering commitment to the D process makes me think I am fooling myself or setting myself up for failure.
