Don't beat yourself over the head for engaging in the conversation. Remember: progress not perfection.

Next time, you can shut the conversation down politely and firmly: "I don't want to talk about this".

The bolded part makes SO much sense. I will keep this in mind during the next interaction. I am sure there will be one. Thanks!
