Just a little side note to myself: Only an idiot expects to be validated by a woman as unwell as my W! Is it reasonable to expect graditude and sensitivity from her? NO. Is it reasonable to allow her moods to dictate my PMA? NO. Is it reasonable to expect to be treated with a minimal amount of respect and politeness. I'd say so. DETACH for the millionth time, dummy! OK, done. To do this is the trick. Wish me luck!
