i keep saying that i'm past it and she doesn't have the power to hurt me anymore...i've come so far there. however, i was very open after doing three days of "inside work". i was in a light, happy, trusting place. i think somehow she sensed that, and resented it.

Isn't it wild how they somehow know? I've experienced this also. Those who installed our buttons and then push them at the exact right/wrong moment seem to have an uncanny hellishly perfect timing.

A friend of mine has a grandmother who does this, who will even do it til my friend ends up in the hospital. Then eventually the abuse cycle starts all over again. A honeymoon period where everything is rosy, then a build up of tension with little sniping remarks, until a big blow out.

My friend then is blamed, bashed, and her grandmother acts all sparkly and vindicated. Yuck.
