Sure if they don't understand

But if they're not listening .. it's better

When they don't pay attention they don't have any ammo for later

That is to say, they can't use anything you say or express strong emotions about against you.

They're not going to exploit any vulnerabilities you reveal. They're not going to trigger responses based on what you said.

They're not going to run and repeat what you said out of anger or pain.

They're not going to twist your words around or gaslight you about the situation or anything similar.

They won't make you feel like your emotions are invalid.
