Don’t show anger or frustration. This will tell her that you’re making her problem your problem. The irrational side of her wants you to do this, so appeal to her rational side with your calm refusal to give power to her guilt-inducing behavior. Train her to learn that you’re not going to respond to her on this subject, not ever. So long as she senses you have a response — anger, defensiveness, or whatever — she’s going to keep bugging you about it. Dr. Hurd
