Ralph,

That's true. My H did and said some ridiculous cr-p when he was in the fog. It's almost laughable now! And he easily got a rise out of me! But with practice and preparation, comes improvement! It is also a part of detachment, to take back the control of our own emotions. They don't deserve that power. These situations are so emotionally fueled on both ends, that we can't just run on automatic. Calm, consistent, firm boundaries, and then move along, that's the goal to strive for--like with that neighbor or boss that does not control your emotions and you know it is better to just keep the peace.
