Thanks for your responses, guys. Mavash, any particular mental tricks that help you? I react quite instinctively, and have struggled to bring that under control.

I am not on the obsessive or controlling end of the spectrum. I did however react badly to news that she had unilaterally decided to give $800 to a distant family member for a keyboard. I didn't mind her giving the money, but felt it was an extravagant gift. Again, I understand how I am using my own lens to judge her decisions.
