Quote: just trying to deal with her emotions, (hard for me to understand) but trying to deal with it.
No, don't "deal" with her emotions, detach from them. Acknowledge them if you must but understand that HER emotions are NOT your emotions. It SHOULD be possible for her to be upset, angry, sad, happy, without you mirroring her. Try to make sure that you maintain YOUR emotional keel through your interactions with her. If she is down, don't be sucked down with her. Love her, be kind, but don't join her in her misery.
