Is ignoring them the only way to live with them? It doesn't seem like a very Christian thing to do when I feel like she really needs to see Christ-like love. But I feel like I've tried everything else.
You don't have to ignore a person if you don't want to, but a person can make you feel so miserable that ignoring them is the only way you can deal with it.

I like your idea better -- don't return the insults. Don't argue back. (I like it. Doesn't mean I could do it.) But you really need to get back to that plantation the second it reopens. (And, yes. I know that's not a literal place, but my mind took off imagining you running away to a plantation in the snow.)

Really though, you'll need a place to scream, be yourself, and get away however you can manage that. Is 16 too old to build a tree fort? Because anything to get some quiet time is desperately needed.
16 is perfect age to build a tree fort. That sounds like a GREAT idea! But it still only works during one or at most two seasons.

IDK. I live where it's supposed to be cold on Thanksgiving, but it was 65. It's supposed to be colder on Christmas, but it was in the 70's. (Had a 19" snowstorm in January, but we're supposed to get more than that in January.) And ever since it's either been unusually warm or too cold. I strongly suspect you might get a few releif-days in the other seasons too. You don't need fulltime relief, just some.

Sometimes you gotta ice dat fool!....IDK I don't think ignoring a person is "un-Christian" where in the Bible does it says if you ignore someone it is a sin....{crickets} there is no verse for it.....it's just like facebook block/ignore only in real life.....

as mr. freeze would say....put em on ice!

Yeah. But my relief days in winter are when the temp gets up to 20 F :D However, you're right about not needing full-time relief, just kinda a place to recharge.
