I’m the easiest person to get ragebaited by my nmom (likely because she hates me, so I’ve been picked on my entire life). However, I need to stick it out for a few more months until I can execute my escape plan. She often sends me degrading messages throughout the day, which I started to delete immediately which has helped me. But because I live at home, these degrading tangents/monologues and insults can go on for hours. How do you handle it? What is your inner monologue and affirmations that you say to help you calm down and to prevent you from responding?
