It's like you're giving others a remote control with buttons, each of which has a button labeled with the name of an emotion. "Anger" "Jealousy" "Sadness" "Disappointment", etc. And, anytime someone does something bad, they are able to hurt you with their actions.

That's what I mean. I'm not invalidating your feelings. There are no invalid feelings.
Respectfully,

You're not her therapist and I do not think this is helpful. It may not be on purpose, but your posts do seem invalidating. Best regards.

To the OP, you and your family are in my thoughts.
Thanks for this!
