Just catching up on your situation. Good luck for the weekend.

I agree with CW above - I've been using validation/empathy techniques on my members of family and things have improved between my mum and sister massively in the last few months. We talk more and my mum has said she has noticed I'm like a different person - much happier.

The key here is what's been said before - no expectations. Just be confident and positive inwardly, and that will exude confidence outwardly. Apologies for the rather clumsy way of phrasing that!
