[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 429258, member: 1233"] This woman has LOST HER MARBLES. I can see asking what gives the impression that you are anxious. Stupid is a word that not even Wiz dared to use to apply to me or anyone else in our family. It is one of my all time biggest hot buttons and I think the only time I ever slapped Jessie was over that word. She told me I was just stupid because I wouldn't do what she wanted. It was done to see if I would make her stop and that was very clear to me. She did NOT expect my hand across her face, and it shocked her enough that she hasn't ever applied the word again. Wiz watched, wincing, as the word came out of her mouth. Ask Ms. Ally WHY you are supposed to ask your bully why you deserve to be bullied? She needs to hear that difficult child has been physically violent against all family members and you will NOT play victim by doing this koi. Tell her that it is NOT SAFE for you to go in during her rage and that she very well may send you to the hospital or morgue if you do that. Then flat out refuse and if she is upset insist on knowing WHY, as a victim, you are supposed to go and wave a red flag in front of your abuser's face? Is this what she would tell you to do if it were your husband treating you like this? What is she going to do about your hospital bills, the cost of the funeral, supporting the family after difficult child kills your or husband because she now has so much power? Her approach is TOTALLY out of line. She is ONLY thinking about difficult child and NOT about the feelings or safety of anyone else in the family. Families are systems just like an assembly line or anything else. If all the attention goes to one part, the entire thing will fail. If you send all the power to the ovens, then the bakery won't be able to mix the bread or clean the dishes and no bread will be made. IF all the attention and treatment and thought goes to difficult child and none to the rest of the family, then the entire things will fail. I am FURIOUS over this plan. It is ABUSE of you. The symptoms you are having are those of fear and panic. in my opinion you need a therapist/psychiatrist of your own and to have them get in Ms Ally's face and tell her to find a new way to handle this because telling an abuser to tell you why you are stupid and anxious is just pouring gasoline on a roaring fire. If seh TRULY wants this to happen then Ms Ally needs to start living on your sofa (paying rent of course) and she needs to do it herself. Then SHE can go to the hospital or morgue, not you. Make SURE she knows that jsut the THOUGHT of this is giving you severe stress and PTSD and in NO way is this acceptable. You do NOT have to "get over it" and just do this koi.
