Thanks :-)
I'm somewhat a 'mistress' of making people say what they mean. I HATE the 'shrink talk' they are so good at. Next time he say's "Why wouldn't...?" come back with a "Why would...?" usually they will elaborate but not always..
I got this nick because that's what my therp calls me!

> I really like what you did when you said that to him. I'll have to try that next time. Here's another example of how he comes close yet skirts around saying a good feeling. I was telling him about someone in authority I've recently had some positive interactions with even though I expected to be judged harshly by her and I said she seems to really like me. He said "why wouldn't she?" which to me meant he is saying I am likable which would mean that he likes me. But there are three steps there. I have to read between the lines, it's only implied. By the way, I call both my kids "Kiddo."
