[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll warn you now you’re about to get a lot of bad, and very confrontational advice, because that’s how DCUM rolls.

In reality I think you should accept there’s no magic formula to change her. I’d play deaf and a little dumb at the rude and biting comments. [/quote]

I’m not saying OP has to be confrontational, but… you would really allow someone to constantly put you down and verbally abuse you, with no response and no end in sight?

I would not confront anyone but I would flat out refuse to be around her. I’m not anyone’s punching bag. [/quote]

DP.  In other words you would rather escalate the drama than let it go.  There is a reason why you're unhappy...[/quote]

I’m not unhappy - because like you, I am not a doormat. People who mistreat me don’t get to be in my life - no drama. [/quote]Ah, you don't understand the drama dynamic at all.  You're instigating and you don't even know it.  That's pretty sad.  No wonder you have no friends and even your husband is ignoring you.  At some point you're going to realize that you've caused all of your own problems.  I am sorry to know that will happen but it will.  Hopefully you'll look into therapy then and get healthy.  Good luck.  (NP)[/quote]
