Things like ‘each day is a new day’ ‘you are loved’ that sort of thing. The notes keep being removed then a few weeks later replaced. Can you think why they wouldn’t just be left?

She is manipulative, constantly guilt tripping and is boundary-pushing. Along with the side comments towards me. I can’t decide if I should keep challenging her with these comments or completely ignore her and do the minimum. I have so much going on , I just do not have the energy for it.
