[quote=Anonymous]If you are unwilling to push back, the only other option is to totally re-frame how you see her. It's amazing how much weight it can take off your shoulders when you change lenses. Start looking at her with pity. The legacy she will leave with her own family is being an overbearing, scary, rude, unloved person. What a shitty way to be. She succcckkkkkkssss. Whenever I've been successfully able to shift my view of a person, it has lead to behavior change on my part. I get braver. I put less energy into being afraid/anxious/avoidant. I stand up for myself more. I take power back. Look at her clearly as a lonely old woman who has to bully everyone to get any attention. You will have a hard time un-seeing that. Couldn't hurt to try![/quote]
