I have no trouble keeping the emotion out of my side of our interactions. This process seems to highlight an emotional imbalance in her life. She seems to feel like her emotional being has been stifled and now she's experiencing it as she's entitled to. It's her compass for everything. She exists totally in this emotional world and it seems she can't use other parts of her being except in a secondary capacity to her emotions. I will continue to be strong in making my decisions rationally and not in response to W's feelings. If only I could learn to respond to W's emotions in a way that doesn't allow her to escalate in response to my response, but also doesn't compromise my perspective. That's a utopian dream if you ask me!
