Good way to put it. 30 years as a litigator also helped me with lots of crossover skills, especially de-escalating hostile situations. Hopefully I can buy enough time for sanity to return.

That’s admirable, & I’m glad they still want you in their lives, I hope you can build on that. Most often it’s all or nothing. It certainly is in my case. My refusal to use my son’s preferred pronouns or name has led to estrangement. Never through yelling on my part but there was no discussion., no debate, no compromise. It’s beyond me & that’s not for lack of understanding. It’s simply madness.
