Don't want to hijack, but AS, I wanted to know if you think this can really work. Maybe others will comment for benefit of reb and me.

I want to say this to my WAW, because she made a comment about OM "always listening to her as a person who had something to say." This isn't the first "you don't listen" I've heard, so I want to 180 that by shutting up, listening, validating and not trying to problem solve. So I want to put the offer out, one time only, with no expectations. However, I'm conflicted with not wanting to appear to be pressuring or invasive. My W is extremely hostile right now - she feels she is a "prisoner" in our house because she doesn't have the means to leave. I am trying very hard to give her space, largely through avoidance, but I still want to have as many 180s in place as possible. I want to avoid any setback if possible.
