Yes it will drive us crazy. There is lots of pulling you close and pushing away during this time of crisis. Whatever the timeline you have in your head to get through this - it will take so much longer.
Keep your text responses short and factual. Don't get into ping pong text messages. Meet in neutral locations if you feel that the meeting could escalate and or dissolve.
Fight your instinct to give an immediate response - no matter what the issue. Commit to getting an answer back in 24/48 hours you choose what works. Most important, meet that deadline.
A little bit of structure can help you get strength.
