How did you know it was passive aggressive behaviour? Have you evidence?
I would react to being called 'favourite' but because I don't want to be one. Favourites are targets for those that ain't. It is all about your own reaction. Emtoional abuse begins in childhood and I've suffered from it too. It is the most insipid form of abuse but you really need to check yourself before accusing someone of it.

It feels like a direct attack on my emotional well being and is I can't deal with it at all, as I said if she had come over and hit me I would have been fine???? I don't understand why I react so badly inside and Im not sure how to deal with it  |
