I'm sorry you're feeling fearful right now. I completely understand that emotion! I think the only way to avoid it is to keep away from
toxic people altogether! If that is not possible, here is my advice. (Ignore it if it is not useful!) Pretend you are entering into a "Survivor" game when you visit her. The goal is to survive and then get out with as little pain as possible. As with ...

I don't have the same situation you have, but I will offer what we found. My husband and I built a house with a

Hi Ms Lucy! I'm sorry if I sound uncaring... but this is funny! My Mother always checks for her Kleenex before we do anything! And, I get very specific instruction on how many Kleenex are to be pulled
from the box. For her to use her Kleenex it has to be double (she says it lasts longer that way) And, all freshly pulled tissues must be folded (in fourths) and when that task is done... ...
