I don't know. This could be bad. I really don't want to sit in the car with my parents for days and days.

she'll love me!

jesus never told her that!

dude. i think she is too angry and insecure to argue with. i'm not saying it to be mean, but more to let her off the hook. that doesn't help her to stop saying stupid stuff for hours in the car though... i'm sorry jesus messed her up. why didn't he mess your dad up too? he's all good in the hood. can't he pull that honor your husband shite on her and tell her to stop being a meanieface? husband trumps gut in the bible.

That's true, but for some reason he never interjects while we are arguing. Sometimes, I even look at him, and I can tell he can see my point, but he tends to agree with her to make her feel better or something.

I know it is due to insecurity, and I use avoidance as a general rule, but she says some pretty ridiculous things sometimes.

Maybe try that thing that The Dog Whisperer does where he pokes the dog and goes "tssssk" to break it's train of thought, repeatedly, until it eventually just forgets it's original intention.

...or just start repeating the Lord's Prayer. That seems to put Jesus people into some kind of trance.
