That is a great response! You did great avoiding being drawn into her crisis that time. Good job!
We actually have much more "good time" than "bad time". I'd say on average 6 out of 7 days a week are pretty darn good with just small uncomfortable moments sprinkled here and there. That's why it's hard to detach because things are good the majority of the time.
Our taking it day by day approach seems good right now. Not a lot of pressure, enjoying the good times and giving space when needed.
