Saw IC. She thinks I'm being too nice, and enabling cake-eating. She generally advises that I be kind but firm, and don't explain too much, just to be brief. She said too much explanation allows the W to put the focus on me, rather than keeping it in her court -- she's the one instigating the D, and she needs to process the logic of it and the consequences in her own head. I'm persuaded that she's right on all of it.
