In the Usual Suspects there's something about what makes Kaiser Sose so scary, and that's that he is always willing to go one step further than the other person. It keeps people in check.

I've had instances when I Tigressed out and "went there" with a bully. Crushed their power by demonstrating how I was willing to go further than the brief intimidation they desired.

In your situation, with others at stake, you have to consider the pay off. What would a "win" look like for you AND what will the consequences be for the people you aim to protect, your children, your future?

Sounds like a mighty inheritance is at stake. If so, find your balance and tow the line. I wouldn't give up a $5m pay off for my children for the brief release of a good telling-off. Hide, send cards (always handmade from the children), get a prescription that allows you to interact (but not drink) at forced get togethers. Sacrifice is its own strength. You're just playing the long game. It's okay, OP.

Outli ing them and retaining the love of your family is the win. Not constant, well-intentioned combat. Those are film heroes. Real heroes take it on the chin and get through the day.

Best of luck to you![/quote]
