“Hey, I’m not planning anything, and I’m not talking to anyone. I’m just exhausted.”
The immediate reply was a frustrated, “well why didn’t you just tell me that?” Which is a non-reply so I ignored it.
I don’t want to fall back into play-by-play and reporting unnecessary conversation here. I’m solution-oriented, and my intuition still tells me that this is on a good track. I can also feel that I have to be careful with the “flat” affect - it can prod the situation forward, but it can also cause problems if I give the wrong impression, say of being cold and upset rather than indifferent,
My goal today is to be positive, enjoy my holiday, and focus on what I do want - a reconciled, happy family.
