Mediating and Processing
Monday November 15, 2004
I started a three-day juice fast today. I meant to get moving and do my exercises
but I got going a bit late and then Faol called. By the time I got off I was
focused somewhere else and never did get back to exercising. Later in the
evening I got a call from Joyful who was concerned about things there. I offered
to talk with Faol about it and she asked me to please do that. I called him
but he was on the phone and didn’t answer so I called him right back.
That time he answered and said he would call me back in 10 min. He actually
did pretty well as it was only 20 min. later when he did return my call. He
put me on speakerphone and we spent about 2 hours with them fighting/discussing
and me attempting to mediate. Things seemed better when I got off the phone
near 1 am. But I was very drained. The patterns of communication that they
fall into during an argument are really toxic in my opinion and I don't know
that I can help them break those patterns especially as they are upsetting
to me.
