She tested me by trying to push me to tell her that all of a sudden now I have decided that we are at the no longer communicating stage so that she could put it on me and then she would be able to say she tried and now she has to stop trying. She was baiting me instead of being clear about what she needed to tell me (important things about our kids).
Did I pass? I thought so but after reading some of the feedback here, I’m not sure.
Evidence that supports a passing grade:
I didn’t panic and ruin my day for something that was unclear from her. I emailed and eventually I agreed to a phone conversation at a time that worked for me and I believe it went well. I stayed true to my values during the conversation following through on communication skills that I have been working on. And it was because I am consistent that I will be a good father and grampa. She has emailed me since the weekend. I emailed back following DnJs points.
Evidence that I will need to retake the test:
I gave in to the phone call so she got what she threw a hissy fit for.
