Kyle, I wish I could like this comment 100 times 😂
Humble: can you get out of there, slowly, without her knowing. If you have kids that makes it hard. Dr Ramani's rules:
Dont Engage
Dont Defend
Dont Personalise
Dont Explain
Go grey rock (look up what that means). Trolls on the internet are usually narcs, psychos, they are looking for a response, dont feed them. Same with relationships with toxic people in real life. As Sun Tzu said the way to destroy a monster is to starve them. Narcs dont know the difference between positive or negative attention. Attention is attention to them. By responding you are giving them supply.
I was advised by a psych a long time ago to read up on Narcs and Psychopaths to learn the traits so that you recognise them coming from a mile away are never a victim of it again. Go to Dr Ramani's youtube channel or go and read up on the work of Shahida Arabi or Dr Ross Rosenberg.
"Dont wrestle with a pig, you will get dirty and besides the pig likes it" - George Bernard Shaw.
ie, that means to win against a narc, you dont play. (ie you never win against a narc, it is wise to stay the hell away from anyone with narc traits.) Think of them as lead poisoning and physically remove yourself from that situation. If you cant do that then limit your interactions with them. Easier said than done. Have a look at my history posting on this site, I have some resources I have shared with others.
