      Oh, I didn’t think it was rude; just a small misunderstanding at worst. I’m glad we’re on the same page. I really hope that I can get them to think in fewer black-&-white ways as you have achieved, because recognizing smaller wins or steps on the zigzag path to stability could be the biggest booster to their quality of life!
