Interesting. I had gone after this issue myself but had failed because by the time I addressed T’s manipulation the arguments were out of control. Is the key then to catch things early enough before you lose their attention. I want to try this.

But then what?

Will post it tomorrow morning; I want to go back in a couple more times first. Actually, Trip admitted both to forcing the marriage, and to keeping
Grace from her art in two separate sessions, once to Chloe and once to Amy. Both ended where peaceably and with promise.

I’m just a born psych. Not psycho–psychiatristic.

Susan, I’d love to see some of the stageplay to this. Can you put up the lead in to the breakthrough on Spinning?

How did you get Trip to admit to the manipulation? Very nice work. You may have a clue to the question: how to talk to G and T that could lead to more satisfying experiences.

Actually, once Trip admitted that he manipulated Grace into marrying him, that she’s truly an artist (which she admitted she does while he’s away on business trips) and that he has had an affair, they thanked me for helping them and they’re going to sit down and talk. I left. I was Amy.

It would be curious to see if certain “friends” are tagged to a particular ending. Trip & Grace got kind of nasty with each other, but then the truth started coming out. I asked a lot of “whys” etc.

I think Trip and Grace should just get a divorce. They don’t listen.

Oh all right. I’ll go talk some sense into them.
