"Just listen. Don't react."

This is the hardest thing to do when she wants to "talk" because she keeps coming up with ridiculous ideas. Should I just say, "File if you must, but I won't help you dismantle this family, and I will not be a secretly divorced roommate?" Or should I "act as if" everything's fine?

"One of her perceptions right now is you hate her right?"

That's what she said, but who the heck knows?
She doesn't seem to want to remember anything good about me.

"What can you do (not words) actions to turn that around?"

Even when I try to be nice like going to the cyber security thing for her, she suspects an ulterior motive. This AM when I offered to get her travel coffee ready, she said "you don't have to do that." I've been trying to balance not pursuing with being nice, but that's getting me nowhere.
