Usually I like to prep myself mentally for intense discussions. I don't know if you watch cable, but there is a fella on one show I watch that is a bit of a tough guy and like to joke around with his sons and employees. A phrase he says often is, "Come over here and turn around so I can smack you up back of the head".
Now I'm not condonning domestic violence, but this might be a thought that will at least put a pleasant smirk, grin on your face for the discussion. My favorite approach is keep them guessing. Of course it you mix it with the, "I can't wait to see how he's going to try to explain his way out of this". Then there's always the thought, "If I'd had 5 beers, this might be funny, 10 might make this believable (no wait did that one).
Hopefully your smiling by now. My prayers are with you. I'm not trying to make fun of your sitch, just project sarcasm on your H, so you can smile. Try to have your head clear tonight and we'll be thinking of you here.
