[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When he returns for god sake don't get right back into it.[/quote]

We’ve exchanged a few pleasantries by text. We will have further discussions and I have enough EQ to know better than to get right back in to it. As PP stated, I/we need to get better at recognizing the need to take a break when things get heated. Hard to always have presence of mind in the moment but I’m working on it. [/quote]

[b]A therapist friend told me to pick a code word. It's like a safe word, you say it and then you have to stop and wait 20 minutes to pick up the conversation again.[/b]

Physiologically that is how long it takes your body to reset. It works with teens too, if you are driving them crazy they have a code word to say and you have to stop talking.

Our code word is Oak Tree. I'll be driving down the road talking about grades or some other vapid worry and my teen says "oak tree" then we get 20 minutes of music, it's genius.[/quote]

Love this![/quote]
