Welcome to MSF @Brain Toomer - I am sorry you have some differences of opinions with your landlady who is more like family.

This reminds me of my mom who passed away 2 years ago. She could be the most supportive person in my life but there could be times where I am eating a bowl of food and she would say "what is that stuff you are eating ? It looks like baby poop. "

I used to get into it with her but then I got to a point where I would just smile and keep eating though it was not as pleasurable after that comment. There was no use trying to change her opinion; "don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up."

When that type of comment that triggers you happens, it seems pointless to try to discuss it with her so how about trying other ways of dealing with your anger?
