O - It's called GUILT. They HATE feeling GUILTY and like to PUNISH us for it.

Dont play her games. Just say "you already apologized for that and dont want to dwell on the past because it's too hurtful."

Or you can stand your ground more and say that "you dont have to sit here and be disrespected like that..."

The bottom line is you need to set your RESPECT BOUNDARIES and stick to them. There is nothing wrong with DEMANDING RESPECT BY BEING RESPECTFUL.
