Hey Sue

It sounds a hard and horrible situation to be in.

I agree with Mary - I will help hold her down and then you can beat her up, give her a small taste of pain and see what happens!!! (suddenly I'm sure she will feel like a aport of what you feel like and might be more empathetic). It's a long term fight I have with my sis - I'd actually be tempted to shove her outside, let her get the worse sunburn ever (the one that's so severe your skin blisters and you can't bear anything touching you) and then tell her to go work (it's the only way I have come up with to describe alloydinia).

Sending loads of love your way, it sounds a tough situation - wish I could help more!!

Love ya
