It's not your job to keep the peace. Nothing changes while you avoid confrontation. Choose your battles but know, when you change your behavior to avoid her emotions, she's controlling you.
Never argue with her, she's not interested in solutions. Make your statement about the issue and then broken record if need be. Do not explain yourself, your logic. You're only offering her ammunition.
Be happy even when she's mad. Ignore her silent treatment, talk to her as if you don't notice. Tease her and see how childish that shit is so you never behavior that way again.
Be assertive when boundaries are crossed. The best time to address shitty behavior is while it's happening. Bringing up old shit makes you look weak.
You don't have to answer every question. Not everything needs a response. Take time to choose your words, let her wait or wonder.
Never deny your emotions, she knows when you're mad. Own it, just don't direct it at her. You are allowed to be angry!
Be comfortable making her uncomfortable. Do not rush to fix things. Do not initiate apologies she should be making.
Your time is what she wants most from you. This is the best thing you can take away in response to bad behavior.
Her only weapon is your fear of what she will do.
