I live with a parent who is very argumentive as well as being passive agressive. She turns every little disagreement into major argument. She roars at you and won't let you talk or even have your own view point. She is also very passive agressive. The question is what do I do? Ifni argue back I am just as bad as her. If I don't argue I feel I am
Suppressing myself and biting my tongue and this effects me. It seem I have to become either argumentive or passive agressive
I know people can be argumentive but this person won't even let you speak. If you defend yourself she keeps raising her voice until you stop speaking. It's actually quite bullying.
 
Sounds like my Mom. I speak softer and calmer and it gives me control. I refuse to argue. I wait til she takes a breath and begin all over again with my point in a calm voice. Eventually, she shuts up. When you change, they are forced to change because their s*** doesn't work anymore.
