I give up on the quoting at this point.

Thanks Alex for pointing out that he was being defensive. I was wondering a little bit ago about that.

I can address that as well next week <making another note to self>. This was huge for me and I truly wasn't being mean, although, I just remembered that he said 'you're being mean today'...eeek!

Maybe he can't take the negative transference??
Is that called counter transference? I think I saw that word once when I was looking something up.
