Yes!
I’ve entertained the idea of talking with all of us and asking for a truce while she’s here. It feels like that’s not being understood.
Too much to put into words.
She got another verbal rib shot in yesterday when we were visiting her for Easter.
She doesn’t know when to quit. She sees no harm in it and actually sees it as funny I guess.
Thank you for your insights and thoughts
I pray it goes well.
I really pray that I can reschedule tomorrow and have another session time to recover from it.
Thank you!

Okay, I can see how hard that is given that she still needles you, still provokes you into a response that you are unable to control. I can understand why you are really concerned about not knowing what could potentially happen.
Given the imminence of the "threat" (I'm just going to go ahead and call it that) and the lack of time to prepare your "system" in order to minimize collateral damage I would go with this: Be compassionate towards all of yourself. Whatever any parts of you may or may not do all parts will be doing the best they can in the moment.
And look, I don't want to "encourage" anything at all here, but someone throwing away her dentures is absolute brilliance.
Offensive of course to the more adult and "restrained" amongst us, but utter brilliance on another level.
Even in that moment "you" were doing the best you could do. Seriously the woman should be better behaved and more respectful towards you. Then she wouldn't suffer such consequences.
I am so sorry, this is not turning out be helpful at all. But the woman should be kind. And if she isn't kind, then she's just dumb. I am sorry she is not better behaved!!
