Weirdly the advice is to let them ruin you. They are all mouth and no trousers and all of their threats are empty. You need to call their bluff little by little. I hope you get all the advice you need.

I make a joke out of mine. Last night I thought my pet hermit crabs were dying so I decided to go with it like "okay maybe they're all dead and the tank is rotted and I bet there's gonna be vultures outside my house" like I just ran it into absurdity and it helped me take a step back and think "ok im just being dramatic" I hope that makes sense! Best of luck
