It was not too hard to be very brief with her and it was the right way to handle the situation. It is what it is right now and maybe it's a phase that will improve and maybe not but there is time to sort it out.
You got a lot going on right now, so that is good that you're approaching things with the appropriate expectations. As challenging as my situation is right now, I feel really small compared to the amount of courage you are having to maintain during your journey right now and it is very admirable.
The crystal ball would be nice but I guess we just have to settle for faith in our beliefs, knowing that we are proactively trying to manage our emotions & reactions in the best possible manner. It's putting faith into action and not wandering around lost in the wilderness, which is what I did for 90 days prior to finding out about DB/DR and this forum.
