My daughter texted and said she is taking a little break because our conversations have not been going well of late. Duhhhh. I need honest feedback here.
She will eventually call me again, which sort of scares me, and I think she will end up yelling about vaccinations and conspiracy theories and saying I am not supporting her again in a nasty way. I am not convinced that it will go any better even if I say not a word. Then I could be accused of not being interested.
Pretend this was your kid being loud, bossy and threatening to cut you off without knowing why she would do it, really. But my grandson is never going to see me if she cuts us off.Would you....
1. Do your best to say as little as possible
2. Say "Im listening" every so often but offer nothing
3. Stand up for your beliefs even though this will cause an estrangement
4. Anything literally anything else!! Dont hold back!
Today Lee took a day off from his brand new job to have a family day. They rode bikes and are going to see the Pokemsn movie. Lee is not a hard worker and I dont talk about it to him but I am venting here. Watch him lose this great job too, but that is for another day.
Anyway...best way to talk to my daughter when she calls. That is why I posted. It scares me so much to think of it, I have considered not picking up the phone. Iam such a chicken and deplore confrontation
I need a plan in advance. Every single idea is welcome!
