This is the excuse to make her admin someone else's job.
You've been the channel she pushes against for years. A formal arrangement removes the channel. Not because you're avoiding her — because the channel itself is the problem.
Drop in what's going on. Get back three cards — a reframe, one move you can make today, and the honest bit nobody says out loud. Not toxic positivity. Not therapy. Just the angle you might have missed when you were too close to it.

One prompt in, three cards back — no follow-up box, no chat. Skip full names, account numbers, anything that identifies someone else — the reframe works fine without them.
Your situation is sent to an AI model to generate the cards, then forgotten. No account, no database. We log how long the call took and how long your text was, never the text itself. Save a card to your phone only if you want to keep it.

People who've actually consulted someone cite the someone. The vagueness is the pressure tactic. Naming the pattern out loud — even just to yourself — defangs it.

If it helped, throw a couple of quid in the cup. Keeps the lights on, keeps it ad-free.
