What you need to do, and I'm sure you know this, is to call her bluff. Refuse to be manipulated. Let her threats fall on deaf ears. Your independence and your family's well-being have to be more important to you than her threats, even if carried out. If you need therapy to get to that point, you need therapy to get to that point. Good luck!
