I don't mean to say it's your fault or excuse for her behavior, but I know this has happened sometimes in my therapy, as it's pretty much inevitable with those of us with trauma histories.

I hope things turn around for you.
Hmm, this is definitely a possibility. I would say that she is frustrated at times. I'm also wondering if some of my rage may be a result of her failing to enact something I am projecting.
