I hate being blamed for stuff that is not my fault, because 'it is not fair'. That's when I want to go to pieces, because my sense of fair play is violated. I can't stand injustice. So hopefully both of you can be aware and take responsibility for your own emotional stuff.

Don't buy in, remember who's problem it is, and stay supportive and loving.
