Woah. I’m stuck on #3. Much harder than not interrupting.
Last night my teen said she needed to vent. I said go ahead. She told me not to you; you have all the answers. Ouch. She tried to back out because she knew my feelings were hurt. I said, own that, because you’re right.
She vented a bit, I bit my tongue. It was hard. Her Dad came home. We were both happy. He’s just better at being at the other end of a vent.
