If you need anything from these people you're going to have to pretend to be nice to them. They have egos the size of Texas and they don't like being questioned. You have already found out how fragile this ego is and the revenge they will take. Keep everything to yourself except what you have to tell them to get what you need. Do not think they are your friend and do not confide in them. Look up any meds they prescribe before you take them.
