I didn't make a big deal about it, DG, so it's all good.
I tried to be as business-like as I could in responding to her statement, but I did get sucked into a mini-brawl. After I replied that I was just trying to get my life & house organized, she wrote something to the effect of:
"Right, I'm just a crazy bi*ch out to ruin your life. I'll get everything out as soon as possible, OK?"
Oh-boy, here we go...
M: "What is it, exactly, that you want from me?"
W: "I don't know what I want."
M: "It's pretty clear to me what you don't want." (OK, as soon as I sent that, I knew I was screwed...)
W: "Right, I've only ever told you what I don't want."
M: "This is going nowhere. Let me know when you want to come by for your things and I will be sure to be out of the house."
And that is where we are today. I'm tired of feeling like I have to constantly dodge her zingers. She's having a rough time adjusting to her new place, and I know that SS21 has already had 1 major meltdown at his day program. I am sorry for her troubles, but she's not helping her situation by sniping at me.
This morning I sent her a TM:
"I'm sorry about us getting into an e-mail argument yesterday. I know you are going through a rough time right now."
Yeah, I said I was going dark, NC, etc. But I am concerned about her and I'd rather have things between us as smooth as possible. This is all difficult enough without having more stress to deal with.
