Standing up for yourself was good -- it's also a great example for your kids to see you stand up to her and not be steamrolled. She will stop treating you that way when she learns it doesn't work.

Also good for you not to play her game. When she said never mind you said okay instead of taking the bait.

Excellent job with your son too. The fact that bad things happen and you can still have a wonderful life is a good lesson for him to learn.
