Good point JP, "I hear you saying" is a good option vs getting in to feelings. (especially with a WAS) This will help my sitch
CP, You'll do great! The important thing is to do and say things that connect. Defensiveness is not connecting. I also use the three C's, Calm, Connect, Cooperate. You sitch, if like mine, may not be in a position to do much cooperating. But the calm and connect part are more important early on!
Rooting for you!
