25 - Thanks for your advice...It makes so much sense, yet so hard to do. I will certainly do a better job of this in my next interaction with her (and realize I should have been doing this for much longer). As much as I have told her in the past that I recognize my role in this, I have always tacked on at the end something that she also did just to not make it seem like it was all one-sided. While it is not, it is something that I didn't need to use to make a point to just make me feel justified or prove to her that there was a reason for what I did.
I have been here for quite a while, but our interactions are few and far between so unfortunately when I have had my chances, I've tried to make my point and justify rather than just sit back and listen and validate.
I'll keep the board posted on any new developments. Thanks.
