Best way to go, Phoenix! They are her issues to work on, not yours, so it's good to back off a bit. Goes to show, there is always something we need to work on, even when we think we're at a standstill, or in limbo, or whatever, 'eh!
I have noticed that I no longer react to when my H gets angry or irritated. The other day, he got all frustrated with his computer, and was stomping around, and muttering under his breath. I just said, "oh, that's too bad ... mine does that too sometimes, so I know how you feel", and left it at that. He soon calmed down. In the past, I would've allowed myself to get upset, and it would probably have ended up in a fight. Very proud of myself (she says, blowing on folded finger nails, hehe).
Take care!
