I have the same problem... well sort of. I deal with the disabilities office at school and I constantly feel like the coordinators and counsellor/advisor talking down to me. Just because I have a learning disability doesn't mean that I'm dumb. It's the most frustrating feeling in the world.
Have you tried pointing out her behaviour to her? It can be hard but sometimes a "I feel I'm not understanding by that look you gave me" or a questioning look after she gives you a mean look may help. If it doesn't, I would go to her supervisor. You're probably not the only person to whom this is happening. Is the treatment helping your family member? If it is, it might be worth speaking up for yourself (not the easiest thing, but it can make a HUGE difference), but if it's not...
Hope this helps a bit...
