This sounds like such a frustrating and painful pattern for you - not least because it repeats both with her and on a more universal scale throughout your life. I guess the value would be in working through this with her ... except that becomes nonsensical if she is frequently absent.

Thank you - terrific suggestions! I constantly try to "retain my composure" - perhaps I need to rethink that and just speak out.
