Her thought patterns do seem to follow a pattern She tries to hook you then pushes you away This time she couldn't hook you, so she got angry and defensive b/c you turned the table and put it back on her
I like the idea of being validating within reason-cordial and brief ,and also giving her the power to fix the R with the girls as Job said- and she will have to figure out how
And when she blames you for everything, and you politely end the conversation again and again,, she will soon learn that kind of behavior won't get her what she wants and maybe she will stop-
I think the more you live your life, but at the same time offer her kindness without getting hooked in..the more it will benefit her I dont see her as a lost cause..especially if she's in therapy and continues to go within for healing- I also like the line as mentioned, .Im sorry you feel that way and I practice it with my kids a lot especially when I have to say no to something and they react- Happy T
