Well, there has been a rather seismic shift. I would probably be best not to give any specifics. Suffice it to say Job that you are 100% correct, when they don't get the attention they are seeking they absolutely take it to a whole new level. When you respond in a detached and unexpected way you see an entirely new face of them.
What does it mean in the grand scheme of things? Likely very little. But it did help me test a hypothesis, show commitment, detachment, and kindness at the same time. It enabled me to take a situation that began in a very upsetting way and turn it around so I had a good chuckle at the end. There are a few days yet to see whether the tide will turn. Either way, I will weather the storm.
