I very much appreciate these three new thoughtful replies!

This isn’t producing the same level of stress or anxiety that it would have months ago.

I’m stressed, but I’m ok.

Which is crazy to say…. I just swallowed a $5000 loss and my stress is NOT at panic level at all.

I’m scared of the feelings of gaslighting I get when I interact with her, and I’m scared of her ability to cause me emotional pain. I’m scared of her ability to cause me to act out-of-character, to prod a response from me, and THEN to act like the victim.

Things are good. Life is good.
