Thanks Coach. If I wanted to show compassion, empathy and love for her right now, still remain strong, and not let her use this episode to her advantage... how would I do that?


I see her escalating this, what she is doing is a form of emotional blackmail. If you draw a boundary I can see her threatening to kill herself. The threat is what will keep you in line. I would talk to a IC or a DB coach. There probably is some underlying feelings of guilt and depression but she doesn't know how to cope with the feelings in a healthy way. I would get outside help.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
