With respect to PW, again, you need to figure out YOUR boundary and enforce it.

It does not matter why H is in contact with PW. It matters that he is and that he is lying to you about it.

What do you choose to do? Pick one of the following or make up your own.

1) accept the contact and the lying
2) accept the contact but require honesty
3) accept contact only if you are present in person or by phone
4) don't accept the contact
5) put your head in the sand and ignore it


Best,
Oldtimer
