I hated that question too and said OK all the time. It was just what I was taught to say and is automatic. I started to journal throughout the week and after she reads them we usually start out with something that I have written about. It feels safer for me to put something in writing than to say it right now so it is a good starting point. Once the subject is broached sometimes I can talk about it in greater detail.

I have a hard time when I am feeling picked on too. I don't react well and tend to withdraw. I do think that to be able to tell her would be the best thing but it is so hard.
