Thank you for the replies. It's nice to know at least I'm not the only person who thinks this way. Hopefully the robe fixes this problem and I do agree, the answer from her to basically ground me to my room while her daughter gets ready for school is not a good sign. I'm hoping this passes, but will not be ok just letting another issue like this get handled in a similar way. If this rears its ugly head one more time, I think it's time for me to maker some serious choices on if I really belong in this household. Again, thank you for the replies!
