Difficult day. Long story short, the day started with pushback from Tommy about the school work and plans for the day and escalated to a point where I cancelled the planned convertible rental. It because a huge issue and point of contention. And the arguments would not stop. Really drained me emotionally. Eventually leveled out but not without damaging the rapport. Trying to learn form it and not be so quick to react, but hope he too realizes his own communication can set a tone that introduces conflict. Feels like toes are easily stepped on, and yet it's important to me that he not be harsh on himself either. It's such a delicate balance act, and nobody can maintain their balance forever. I sure can't.
