But in every one of those meetings, my stepmother becomes extremely upset and things escalate to the point that nothing ever resolves and we end up right back where we started.

Never mind.

My stepmother continues to say that she is still hurt without ever being able to clearly name what I did.

beyond tone or perceived disrespect back in 2020 to 2021.

Hang on, let me check my watch.

Get over it.

Five years now.

Five plus years.

During difficult conversations, she has become highly emotional, yelled, cried, walked out, or shut down completely.

including one time where she literally covered her ears and loudly recited the alphabet so she wouldn't hear me speak.

No, come on.

Objectively.

Was a therapist in the room?

I

I was wondering if that was in the therapy session or if that was just like in their living room.

It had to be because the look on a therapist's face when this is going on.

I mean, if that therapist is worth their salt at all, they would hopefully get in there and help her figure out what is going on when she does something like that.

This is ridiculous.

Totally.

Meanwhile, my own hurt is never acknowledged.
