I understand, really I do. Just don't let her convince you that you're the one with the problem.
There's no good excuse for her not carrying her own emotional baggage - you certainly don't need it. I don't know what her problem is, but she has no right to direct all that anger at you. If you can't remove yourself in a physical sense, you will have to set up emotional boundries to keep yourself from being a target. She's the one who should change, not you...she has to redirect her anger, learn to contain it or get help for herself. Otherwise her treatment of you as her whipping boy will take an emotional toll on you that is not your responsibility to bear.
