Distract/Defuse

rev

Really in the weeds today. DW in an obsessive loop of anger about her iPad not working properly. Often happens because she gets lost in some obscure site. The tablet often keeps her occupied and happy, but it’s also a curse! Someone helped me with those “Absolutes” , but I’m really at a loss many times on how to get out of the spiral.

I know where you are coming from. Sometimes I can redirect no problem. But when it comes to my husbands iPad or YouTube, it’s much more difficult. Lately I have just told my husband the iPad is a computer and I have to turn it off for 10 minutes so it can reboot itself. Then I remove it from where he’s sitting to an out of site spot. So far, that has worked.
