    I’m no medical professional so I wouldn’t take that chance with someone’s life lol even if I pulled her out and she suffered some short term consequences, she’d be blaming it all on me. It’s my fault I didn’t stop her earlier, it’s my fault I didn’t pull her out earlier, it’s my fault that the bathroom needs to be cleaned, in fact, it’s my fault that COVID exists.

    You really can’t win against someone who’s brain doesn’t actually work. Her mentality in life is that everything that goes wrong is my fault, everything that goes right is because of her, and since I’m younger than her, it means she’s always right.

      Why would ever contradict her? “It’s your fault!” “Yes. I did it. I poisoned you.” “Don’t mock me!” “I’m not. I really did poison you.” “…” “…”

      Her blaming you is like a kid that keeps asking “why?”, but a lot less wholesome. She wants engagement. Don’t give it. Do not bicker, do not engage in good faith dialogue (she isn’t), just go “yup”, “that’s right”, “um-hum”, “you’re right”. And when you eventually had enough, get up, leave, don’t acknowledge that you’re leaving or say goodbye. And absolutely, do not ever pick up the phone from her, ever. There really is no situation in which picking up that call will leave you better than before.
