Controlled, measured. Interesting point from counsellor was they aren't hearing what you're saying. You can say 'I love you' and all that, but they need to hear that you empathise with the stuff they come out with.
Now here is a thing with the communications with her RE S9 that relates to what you said. I originally said I want him from Tue to the following Mon with Fri being the exception where he would be with her. She didn't read it like that (go figure) but I think she's forgot that Fri is the anniversary of her D's death. Her family normally gather together on that night. All very strange.
