Hi Tera – Sorry to hear you’re having difficulties.

When I communicate with people, I try to remember that no matter how clear my words are, there is a chance the other person will misinterpret them.

Think about it – Have you ever been in a situation where someone said something to you, and you were kind of offended, and then they had to explain what they really meant? Misunderstandings happen all the time.

I think you’re approaching the issue in a healthy way. All you can do is send a clear message… Once it’s out there, it’s up to them to interpret it as they will!
