The Troll has responded--not good. I think I'll be lawyering up and we'll have to do battle in court. He's a real slime. I was going to post his belabored email but it is really so icky to me and long and Mitch-like that I decided to let it die in the compost heap of internet garbage where it belongs.
He'll never change. He is whining about how he can't pay his bills. Blah, blah, blah. I am done dealing with him and will have my L deal with it (when I find an L). I'd like to find the humor in it--maybe in a few days or weeks.
I'm a little sapped of energy at the moment--I feel sad that it has come to this. I think that all my efforts to restrain my anger at him has not really amounted to anything. I have worked so hard to be "nice" and cooperative and all it has done was make him feel more able to manipulate me. I think he sees me as weak and knows that I won't put up a fight because I am, at my core, a "peacemaker" and don't enjoy conflict.
I don't want to have his anger toward him in my heart and I will work toward letting it go, but right no, I have to admit, I am feeling hate.
Goodnight my friends, I'll keep keeping you posted.
