Hey Stewart I think what you described are the boundaries you need to set to (i) keep your self esteem while (ii) working toward the goal of saving your M. Tough balance. You cant control her so stop worrying about it. Easier said than done as you say but true. Yes, she probably is getting off on having this new found power, but I think it is short lived. Once she figures out that you are there for her but not just to DO stuff for her, it will gradually change to respect and hopefully love again. It is hard to respect someone who is at your beckon call and certainly hard to love someone you dont respect.
Nice catch 22 we are in, huh?
