All right... here's the most recent one....
I have an aunt that I must not be around. Every time I'm around her she pushes my buttons. She speaks to me in ways that are intolerable. She brings up topics that must not be brought up. People tell her things they must not tell her, and then she brings up those things that must be kept private and must remain unknown to her.
And I spend a lot of time thinking about the above, and what I will do about it the next time I happen to see her. And the fact that I spend so much time thinking about her is intolerable. I must be able to handle this, and I must not ever be overwhelmed by the situation.
