Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 4)

[RSG]

Basically, treat her as someone you know but you don't really want to spend THAT much time around. You can be polite or friendly, but keep away from kissing butt. Respect has to come before all else. Why? If she can't respect you enough to talk to you decently, why would she respect you enough to even question all of the things she's done? It's a big first step to be honest. Once you start gaining respect back, they start to question things and aren't so sure about what they wanted anymore.....
