How to deal with a martyr? You canât because they wonât listen. They are more wiser than you.

agree
thing is she denies it was her choice

Of course. Thatâs what a Martyr does. I have to. Poor me.

I know I grumble, everyone I know does
but we arenât doing it for sympathy and none of us say poor me
itâs a coping mechanism to grumble
whereas a martyr is manipulating
Is that right?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Kind of.
BIL is in hospital so the focus and sympathies are with him. She doesnât want to miss out on anything so she becomes the Martyr. Look at me/us. Now feel sorry for me because my son is sick.
I think itâs more out of boredom (even though martyrs are ALWAYS busy). The manipulation is just a bonus.
