I am facing a situation in which I am just not communicating well with someone I need to communicate with. This person gets defensive and shuts down when I try to talk about our issues. From reading your post, I think the key to your successful conversation was being able to help the other person stay calm and to not feel blamed or accused. Certainly, that must have been challenging! Anyway, good for you! And I hope to find similar success soon.Tree Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729430128113547706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35402178.post-80217320044585401442007-07-14T10:57:00.000-04:002007-07-14T10:57:00.000-04:00Yea.

I am also afraid I will make the situation worse. You are very courageous in my book. I never thought about rehearsing the conversation first. What a good idea. Good job.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972291927652716856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35402178.post-400500007034604822007-07-14T00:41:00.000-04:002007-07-14T00:41:00.000-04:00Congrats and kudos too!

I can only say that I am also happy that the other person was able and willing to hear you. I never did have that option with my MIL who was a complete dipwit about relationship. Luckily for me, my husband (her son) also could see this problem with her so I wasn't the odd person out in what could have been a nasty triangle! (or potential DIVORCE situation?!?) <BR/><BR/>Again - wonderful, excellent and GOOD for you :) <BR/><BR/>ehugs, KatchaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
