[quote=Anonymous]Great advice from the PP^ I have found that minimal responses from me and redirecting/changing the subject helps a LOT. When she does get on a tear, I just uh-huh it to the end and in my head, remind myself that she complains because she doesn’t see the power she has in her own life, and it’s very sad. I think she would benefit from therapy, but she won’t go. I’m not going to change her, but I have changed ME (in therapy) and I no longer get personally involved in her complaints. I don’t offer suggestions or comments beyond affirming that I am listening and I can see she’s upset.[/quote]
