How's that for a serious and non-amusing answer  Go me go. |
I have learned to do the EXACT same thing which is finding humor in her behavior but you are right by still acknowledging the negative emotion I felt. My philosophy now is if I continue to let her affect me negatively which can ruin my day and stoop to her level then that is considered a win for her in my opinion. So, when she acts this way, I just need to remind myself that it's just a temporary feeling and that she doesn't deserve my "emotional time" anymore. It's like if you acknowledge it then you give them credit for it.
If anything I am saying is counterproductive or will only prolong my suffering then please let me know. I am sure you can relate that this is TRULY an internal battle within yourself in order to heal emotionally and be free from the pain.
