It is often a fine line between enabling and supporting @Owlunar and not everyone can find that balance - even I don't sometimes Smiley Surprised I totally get why you had to remove yourself 'permanently' from that situation - I don't necessarily find it triggering as you do under the circumstances - just tiring some times ...and often it doesn't matter what we do or say, there is no 'getting through' Smiley Sad

I think when it starts to affect us personally then we need to take a step back - just as you have done - and that in itself is a strength Smiley Happy

I believe I have 'weathered the storm' on that other thread now and the right outcome hsa been achieved - ie. further help now sought that we could not provide here - a long couple of hours but in this case repetition and developing trust (even if in a small space of time) was what was needed for the desired outcome - doesn't always work but glad it did this time!
