@JS - Thanks for you're reply. You are right - I was past it.. but your advice is always welcomed.
Although I do tend to agree that her behavior is due to her losing control,I do not know for sure what she meant and in the end... it does not matter..
....whether it be poking or concern... my action is the same....
I also knew as soon as I said "teach" I was using the wrong word. She always will have a choice on how she wants to treat me.. regardless on how I behave.
So I guess it's more of teaching myself now.
@NG - Thanks. I'm very emotional so I know I struggle with reactions. The choice to take the high road is not always apparent.. if fact it almost never is when my emotions run high.
So I vent, I post, and I wait.
I never did respond to my wife. And I won't. I'll give her the details when I have them. I may not be able to stop the control she has over me right away.. but I do stop it.
You're right NG. It is a test for me. I so appreciate your kind words and support.
Off to GAL the sh!t out of my week. My sister (the one who is sick) has been pretty healthy the last few months....
... healthy enough to visit LA.
Another silver lining in my situation.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
