"Yes, I asked her to leave the church. She doesn't belong there."

You just said that the church asked her to leave. Take responsibility.

"Don't blame me for her spite and resentment."

Fact is that if you didn't ask her to leave, she wouldn't be resentful of you. That was your role.

"I am not allowing resentment to eat away at me. I simply want a different relationship. I communicate very effectively."

Communication is more than just words. It's the tone of the words that you use. I don't think you realize how much of your anger is shown in your posts.

"She wants what she wants and threatens when she doesn't get it."

Because you two can't communicate any better right now.

"She won't even consider anything I want. This has nothing to do with communication or resentment."

Yes it does.

"It is all about selfishness and the personality of a bully."

She is defending herself because she feels like you take things away from her. Like the church thing. In that, you were being selfish and a bully.

"I have worked on forgiveness. It doesn't stop the phone from ringing or the bullying behavior."

Because the resentment is still there.

You know despite what you may think, I really do support you. In fact, your situation is so obvious in how to make things better, but you continue to go your own path and then complain when things don't change.
