DejaVu6 if the WAS wants to talk I think that's great. Just listen and validate, let them do like 80% of the talking. Ask questions but try not to carry the conversation. Maybe only carry it if they start asking you a lot of questions, but keep it polite and on the surface, don't go deep or talk about R. Also, I feel it's ok and in the DB toolbox to invite the WAS to do family GAL as long as there are no expectations and you carry on with the activity after they say no. I am referring to the kids and taking them get a treat.
I really think you have a level head and I like your perspective. Maybe it's who you are and/or byproduct of your therapist training. Our sitch are different, but I will definitely be following your sitch.
Good luck and I will say a prayer for you.
