I completely agree that she is unreasonable and very difficult to deal with. It is a shame she feels she needs to be so rude, demanding and controlling. It breaks my heart to be privy to her mean-spiritedness, but I can't function w/her as she is so unhealthy. I do hope in time she'll be able to get some help for not only herself but for our D.
She just did her best to get under my skin w/this e-mail about the house:

I will not agree to any type of "short sell" or any other type of non-traditional sale. Likewise I will not agree to walking away from the house or anything else that will damage my credit. Lower the price of the house and sell it. A straightforward sale, no gimmicks, no games. If we still owe money, we owe money. Period.
I am looking into some things from my end, but you need to know that your lack of resources at a lower sale price is your problem. Sell the house, the sooner the better.
I started to do the same old thing - respond w/an explanation of what I stated in the earlier e-mail, why I put it in there and a statement that I was confused as to why she was so angry w/me. The old way of thinking was at work here and I was originally under the mind-set that I could make her understand my point-of-view and somehow make her understand and not be mad at me.
Thank goodness reality took over. I didn't send a long e-mail trying to explain myself b/c I remembered it wouldn't do any good. Instead I sent:

Thanks for getting back to me. I was hoping this would be your choice too as I don't want any tricks or games either.
We have an offer for $250K and I'll let Kevin know that he can counter-offer and submit it officially. There is a good chance we can get closer to $253K when all is said and done which would only leave us w/the Wells Fargo account, the ring, and the pensions to settle.
I'll keep you posted.
So I guess I am learning.
The good news is we do have a buyer and at worst I'll be w/out money to get me into another place.
