as someone who is upset and not as someone I love who is trying to attack me. Because at those times, she is someone who is upset and and not someone who is acting as my mother.
If I practice how to respond to her in that different way, at least I have a chance of not making her more upset and making the situation worse, which may be crucial because she has already become violent once. IOW, it's not that I can expect things to go as per my plan but that I won't be flatfooted and trying to talk to my mom when it's this upset, scared person who is there.
