This isn’t absolutely relevant, and may not be helpful, but my mother is the type of person who will talk at length—easily an hour—if you don’t stop. And you can’t just say “Um, I was thinking - ” or “yeah, I agree”, because she’ll just talk over the top of you and not listen. My strategy is to wait for a pause (usually a very short one, because she doesn’t leave long pauses) and then try to quickly cram a sentence in to divert the top. This may work for you, as you’re not technically interrupting—you’re just jumping in quickly with your idea—and you may find this is enough to divert the conversation so that you can more easily put your view across (or be asked more).
