But the good news is that you have all of tonight to sulk about it, and stamp your feet if that helps.
I *hate* those long silences. Well, I'm not sure if I ever made it that long without saying something. I hate the one minute silences.
Reconciliation seems to be the psychological concept of the moment, perhaps as a backlash for the excesses of the past, and maybe she's swept along on all the new research and reports. Or maybe she just came from a different world with regards to family. I don't get it myself. I can see not carrying around hatred or anger such that it hurts *me*, but the reconciliation concept seems to go farther than that. It even seems to go so far as to put the reconciler back in a vulnerable position. I can't quite grasp the value of that.
It's interesting that she made you repeat your statement. Maybe it will open up a more productive session tomorrow.
