Unsure where we are going

I agree. I think SA you should gauge your own emotions. If you can handle it and stay firm, rational and calm.....then do so. The minute you start to feel yourself losing control, you end the conversations and walk away.

In fact, SA, I think you could really learn the skill of being the one to end conversations in general, even when she isn't be belligerent. You keep mentioning LRT. LRT is a method where by you limit your interactions with the WAS. It is usually only applied in cases of physical separation, not in-home separation. But the principal you could take from that is limiting your interaction with her. One of the best ways is to be the one to end the conversation. If you were GAL like you should that might be a lot easier to do.
