My first post - please be nice.

So, I had a realization this morning. I need to do a better job of standing up for myself. This morning we were getting ready for work. She couldn't find a pair of her pants. (I do our laundry together.) Well she goes in saying, I need my pants. You always loose my *stuff* when you do laundry, blah blah blah. Hindsight being 20/20 I should've said something like "I would be more than happy to help you, but I will not be disrespected".

But, I just know that when she gets in one of her "moods" if I say something like that it will make a bad situation even worse. She's like that, there's no talking her back off the cliff. But she needs to know I will not stand for it. Not really sure what to do.
