Although the bomb with my name on it was dropped in January, the sirens and red flags were all over the place during this month last year.

All kinds of memories are popping up that I had given little-to-no thought to - until now.



Same here. It almost seems like a Twilight Zone thing compared to now. Staying in the "now" seems to be the key to getting throught this part, I have to agree.

As for XOW: Early on I did try to contact her several times by email and by phone. I reqested that she sit down and meet with me, and left her my cell phone number. She was way too cowardly to contact me in any way.

So...out of the blue, she calls my cell phone last week and accuses me of having called her house and hung up on her. Huh??? Apparently she doesn't have caller ID and apparently she assumes that I am the only person who would hang up on her. ...if it even happened.

I assured her that I had not called her. She was pretty agitated and kept yelling, "well....what do you want??" and "I have NEVER called you" and "it's been a YEAR!!"

I was not happy about her calling me while I was at work, but I stayed very calm and told her that she had never called me because she was a coward, and it didn't matter to me if it was a YEAR or last week....she was still a scum and there's no statute of limitations for a evil bitch who keeps trying to break up families. I told her that I wanted nothing from her unless she was willing to come over and apologize to me and my family.

She got all stuttery and confused--like the wind had been taken out of her sails. She was blabering about how she had thought it was me that had hung up on her. I told "no, I didn't call and hang up on you....but I am hanging up on you now".

"It's been a YEAR"...that really got to me! Like that matters. Maybe she thought she only had to feel like a jerk for a month or whatever. I have learned the amazing stretching of the truth that people can do when they try to rationalize...but I am still always a bit shocked by it.

I told Wolfie about the conversation when I got home. I told him that I have nothing to say to that woman.

My instinct tells me that Butt-Ugly is getting some guilt pangs about the memories coming up for her right now--and she thought she'd somehow get me into a screaming match to make herself feel better. I'm sure it would be easier for her to be angry at me than to sit still with her own concience.

Whatever her reasons...I thought it was rather immature all the way around.

BTW...at least she confirmed that it HAS been a year. Guess Wolfie has been telling me the truth.
