[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677465, member: 1550"] I think you did great, but do have one suggestion that you can take or leave. Don't talk so much to him, even calmly. He is throwing irrational words at you and abusing you. Why even acknowledge them? You are right that he hears you, but it may not be in the correct way. He may use those words you tell him to twist and to throw them in your face later on, when he is on another rant about how it is all your fault (big lie). My motto is starting to be "less is more." The less you engage, the more you stand your ground. Yes, it's hard if you are a talkative person. I am too. I wasted too many minutes that I can't get back by trying to reason with those who want to invalidate everything I say. Yes, he will get mad at your lack of response, but it will also not fuel his fire. Hugs and so sorry for this mess and wishing you better things in your life from this day forward. [/QUOTE]
