Give advice on how to deal with someone who seems to use passive-aggressive behavior to avoid addressing the root issues.
@Wondering.... I'm afraid there is a bigger issue than the words you are choosing. No matter how you spin your words, you will not appease her because there is a larger issue beneath the surface. She is just using these moments to be passive aggressive towards you. Most PA's are cowards and will do anything to avoid addressing the real issue. I'd suggest researching PA activity and the best strategies to dig beneath the surface to find out what is really bothering her.
