While I'm still set up to annihilate her legally, there is still part of me that is emotionally connected to her which makes it difficult to take actions against her without feeling bad about it. I imagine these displays harm my ego and cause me to lower my defenses for her.
Of course I'm pretty analytical and recognize these impulses for what they are, but the insomnia/depression still kicks in.
Should I make the A comfortable for her by not involving MIL/BIL or should I break up their party every time she is there? Not sure what effect that has on anything.
