Sorry but my past life kicked in there. The couple of other times that this happened, it helped greatly to get into a "fight".
The texting started this morning at 8.55 from W. Up to the end of my first post ....
"Will speak later. Hugs."
All this in the space of 10 minutes(ish).
Then very quiet until noon when the demands started again. And I know why. The two faced b*&%^ had got home and W had reported back to her with the news.
BULL dust.
Sorry Serenity - I just had to put my foot down in the only way I could. Draw a line in the sand.
The adore back bit goes back to you - you'll never be able to upset me - even by telling the truth.
I managed to set a boundary after the first polite telephone call (putting phone down on her when she started her "Ohhh K I don't believe you - you bought dog biscuits etc. crud)
I'm thinking about the alternative now you've got me back on the path of the righteous - going dark on her would have caused a panic attack in her I'm sure. She would have been the one to wonder if she was doing the right thing or not.
I feel that she now knows that I've ceased to be a doormat or door-mouse or any other kind of door. (BIG 180 from my meek okay you ask and I'll give over the past month). SHOCK HORROR. She now knows that I don't agree with all the "all your fault" bs. She knows that I'm prepared to march into court. She told me that she knows that I still want to work on M. And she knows that I'm not frightened or intimidated by anything she or "friend" says.
And a few other insights that have been missing from her puzzle.
And she had the GAUL to say thanks for sending her camera back with K but where's the cable!
She opened up in that flurry of texts more than she has in a long time. I'm sure she's (they're) stewing. And thinking. And plotting? Actually water off a ducks you-know-what.
I feel good.
NOW I'm going dark. Just not sure how much. If W text's me she gets a notification that it went through. If she didn't - bonus. But she does. Considering topping up the other cell contract and switching to that for a week. Just not sure.
Turned the cell phone off for the night. She has the landline number if she does want to talk.
Saw some real spunk there today Serenity - from both of us. And I feel it did us both the world of good. Sorry again but it was spontaneous - no scripting - just doing it. She is thinking about things. Still sticking to the script though. I see that now (thanks G).
I don't see her pulling my strings. I definitely see OW pulling W's.
And now forward and ever upwards.
