WW spoiling for a fight all day

NEVER, EVER, EVER take the bait. You are facilitating this matey. STOP!

NEVER TAKE THE BAIT. You know what she is doing.

she was laughing my my face.

Damn right she was!!!!

She's trying to manipulate me

No sh!t Sherlock! You even understand this and you know what you SHOULD do!!

I SHOULD know better. I knew even as it was happening.

Get a grip. Windsor Davies. Look through her at these times, not at her. Don't focus on her. Listen, but don't feel her emotions. Windsor Davies! "Oh Dear, How Sad, Never Mind". Got it!! You need to become an impenetrable shield. Why, because:

1 - She will continue to hurt you
2 - She will continue to hurt your children
3 - You will dominate communication as she spews (she is only trying to take control as she feels weak)
4 - You deserve respect, this is disrespectful manipulation

Again:

Get a grip. Windsor Davies. Look through her at these times, not at her. Don't focus on her. Listen, but don't feel her emotions. Windsor Davies! "Oh Dear, How Sad, Never Mind". Got it!! You need to become an impenetrable shield. If needs be, validate, but lightly. Windsor does this, "Oh Dear, How Sad". You do it by saying that seems tricky, I believe you etc (only).
