Hi falldc,

I had to laugh, rather heartily, along with you, of course! Your last sentence struck a chord with me.

It sounds like you are adjusting and trying to make the best of things.

It's interesting, I have found when I make a shift in my usual stance, soon thereafter, the other person also makes a shift. Our initial shift creates space for someone else to also shift. I find this often helpful.

As you keep your cool and take things in stride, avoid conflict, he may follow your lead.

Sounds like things aren't ideal-- when are they ever in real life.
Sounds like the situation is improving?

I am very impressed with the fact that you sound like you are in a very different space, a less stressed, more healthy space?

It's great to hear from you!
Continue taking good care!
