I am struggling mightily with intense worry and fear about this upcoming BD.
I'm looking for some advice how to handle myself in a BD situation. I would feel better if I was more confident in my ability to handle the BD - what to say, etc. Then I would worry less about when it's going to happen, or what W will say or do, or if I will be served D papers at the same time.
All I have so far is:
"OK. I understand you want a D. It is not what I want."
"I need some time to think about this."
My goals here are not to save the M. They are:
- Respond neutrally and respectfully - Stand up for myself (self-respect) and my kids - Feel confident I can handle anything thrown my way
I find my brain spinning about all the things that may come up.
