W was watching TV upstairs in bed, the bachelor. I went up to get ready to sleep and asked "do you often watch this show?". She instantly snaps at me and asks if I have a problem with that. Apparently, she didn't like my tone of voice. She seems to have a very short temper around me, and she even snaps at the kids. She has a lot of bitterness and resentment about her life, being unemployed, and it seems that she directs a lot of her negative energy towards me. I'm trying my best to walk away when she has these moments and not let myself get baited. I realize she feels trapped in her current life and unable to escape because of the kids and her limited financial resources. I continue to resist the urge to help or fix her issues, and I just keep working on 180, GAL, and detachment.
