I don't know how you do it man... How you can resist it is inspiring. I hope to get that chance to resist.
Pinn, it's not that hard really for me at this point. I love her, but I refuse to get back on the roller coaster with her. I know she is having problems, but I will not be her friend or "part time" family member.
For years I walked on ice with her, anything that I said/did that she did not like, would turn into a giant fight. She is upset mostly these days because I refuse to engage in fighting with her. Anytime she starts picking one, I just walk away, hang up the phone or say something like "nope, not happening" and change the subject. I do not live by her rules or let her make decisions that affect my life. She is realizing quickly that she has little to no power over me and it's driving her crazy.
