What do you mean by "validating Bs overeactions"? Do you have an example. I've seen a lot of people equate validating with agreeing. I'm not saying that you need to agree with anything she says. Validation is about understanding that she has feelings and that they are hers. If she gets offended by your joke, then that's how she feels; you shouldn't defend why you were right and she was wrong because how can her feeling be wrong?
As for LRT, I still don't think so. To me LRT is complete no contact. There's just no way to be in complete no contact when you're living in the same house with two children. I think there are some principles to gain that are outlined in asandis rules and I wouldn't go out of your way to contact her. But this isn't a complete radio silence fall off the earth situation.
Keep posting and good luck on your goal. Are there other things you want to accomplish in the next week??
