This. To a tee.[/quote]

Well, though, I always thought these types end up in [b]power positions[/b] in their life,  but this person actively seeks to not get out of her comfort zone.[/quote]

Her position of power may well be through controlling and manipulating her family.[/quote]

This is correct. They don’t have to be lawyers/senators/surgeons. Their fiefdom of manipulative terror can be their neighborhood block, their family, their church bible study, the PTA, etc. Ask me how I know, sigh. [/quote]

Ok, this makes sense. So, how to deal? ...no matter what boundary or distance we set up, she finds a way to go around. It's very anxiety producing.  And it's all the time. I actively avoid getting into anything with her...just refuse to, but that stokes the fire even more.[/quote]

My soulution is just to avoid every possible interaction with people like this, in this case, severely limiting our interactions with my husband’s side of the family. There is no fixing the head cases, the only strategy to mitigate is to avoid.  [/quote]

Yes, I think so[/quote]
