[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619245, member: 17542"] One of my friends in Al-Anon says this when the conversation starts going in a bad way: Can we pause? I would like to have this conversation later. I have this on one of my talking points sheets for use with my difficult child. I haven't tried it yet but he says it stops the talk in its tracks. If it doesn't, you just repeat it. It's respectful, it's kind, it's benign and it's firm. And it does the all-important thing: buy time. I'm going to have this at the ready and I'll let you all know how it goes once I use it. [/QUOTE]
