I had a pretty good weekend. I t was mostly quiet but I had a good time with friends over at the new house of my friend M, who I helped move in a couple of weeks ago. It was a dinner/wine-tasting party that was followed up by our bible study. We talked and watched the accompanying DVD by Ed Young (his series on betrayal and forgiveness), then talked some more. A very enjoyable evening.
...
Before that, in the morning, I got some emails from xW. The first one was very odd but the ones after that were just the same old same old -- she was grousing about the CS amount and I was gently telling her to calm down and review the worksheet I had printed out to her. The figures were all there in the attachment I included with the monthly check, but she kept asking why this and why that -- I just referred her back to the printout. Her problem is that she thinks I am cheating her because my CS payment to her is not quite half the school, daycare and other fees for our S's, but I had to inform her that there are more expenses than that, including medical and dental coverage which I am picking up entirely (including the deductibles she refuses to pay for and for which I still get the bills.) Again it was all there in black & white for her to see herself, she was just failing to really look at it (she worked in accounting when we first met, so I know she's not that obtuse where such calcs come in.)
But back to the first email, the one that preceded this quibbling over the CS amounts. She said that she understood that I was having difficulties with the high cost of rent and services in the apartment complex I currently reside in, and that I was trying to look for some place more affordable -- so she said she would not oppose me moving into the same apartment complex she lives in -- just so long as I make sure it is in one of the other buildings away from either the one she lives in or the one her mother lives in.
I haven't said anything here in these forums yet about this. Likewise, I have not given any sort of response to her about that strange message either. I don't think there's really anything to say about it and, besides, we got sidetracked soon after by the other emails. What is so odd about this is that last year when she moved into that apartment complex she told me in no uncertain terms that I was to not even think of relocating into the same apartments. She made a very vehement demand that I not try to do anything she might construe as me invading her privacy or crowding her freedom.
So what to make of this? ---> Only what I already know: she's a nutcase.
