Kalni, Kerry, and Bizarre - thanks for the input. I haven't sent anything back to her, but she did send me a text about 2 hours ago letting me know she'd replied to my e-mail.
I'm going to contact my mother and get the flight info. and then send it off to her w/ a simple "Here's our information. Thanks." and leave it at that.
Bizarre, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks she was attacking and threatening me in the e-mails. I certainly didn't attack. It is good to be reassured that I'm not crazy.
Also, Kalni, I think you may be right that she backed down quickly when I spoke up and then tried to turn the tables on me. I appreciate what Kerry said that the strength of my character was able to show through my e-mail and contrasted hers.
Oh, and so I don't forget, Nut, I know you are right and I wouldn't want that type of relationship or be that man. It is fun - in a twisted way - to think of doing it, but in the end, there is ZERO way I'd be "that" person. I'll leave that role up to XW for now.
I'm heading to a golf lesson now and I'll check in w/ you all in a bit.
