Such as " I hear you saying/You seem to be saying...........", or " you seem to be feeling......" and "how does that make you feel....." also "by telling me this you want to accomplish........" Just keep turning everything back on her without reacting.
One of my favorites is the sarcastic "Oh, Wow, Really. Is that all? What else you got?" and then laugh.
She wouldn't let me get a whole sentence out.
She knows that if she engages with me in an argument,
I will unravel her manipulations and expose her shit,
and that just won't do...
(even if I am prepared to forget past wrongs....as long as the future improves).
It's more important that she saves face
and continues to get away with manipulating our parents.
So, to avoid engaging with me,
she simply asserts that all my arguments are bullshit
my opinions are worthless
that I don't deserve to be heard.
Extremely frustrating, given what the reality is,
and how much she has gotten away with, at my expense.
Very demoralizing to be told that you are the bad guy....by the bad guy.
I think she's a sociopath or narcissist or whatever.
No conscience about doing the right thing or hurting people or being unjust.
All that matters is winning.
