[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 531693, member: 455"] If I reach my breaking point, and it does become inevitable with us all at some point that we will, I I've learned from the past that if I see it headed that way I will try to stop it. For example with the back and forth banter/barter type negotiation tactics especially if I know something really isn't negotiable, I will simply say "end of discussion". I won't say another word. It is a sign to myself to just stop talking as much as it is to them because I would engage still at times. It doesn't happen over night. It was a learned technique but it does work, for me, for them. 99% of the time now. They might have a few words more they want to say and do after I say that but it won't matter because they know "I" won't be responding anymore. [/QUOTE]
