Dear shadeinthesummer:

Yes, I think you can base your argument around her need for you to do what it is that you are doing for her. The argument is basically: don’t bite the hand that is trying to help you because if you do, there will be no hand to help you.

And maybe it is time for her to go back on anti depressants, whatever it takes for her to treat you well, that is what needs to be done.

Please post again with your thoughts, feelings, and hopefully positive future developments.
