Pyrite: Eye of the storm?

[Zues126]

Thanks Py. I understand she has deleted a few of your emails. I still think this is the best option.

The challenge is that simply stating "I AM ONLY COMMUNICATING THROUGH EMAIL" sounds a little controlling, like once again Py is dictating how you will communicate.

On the other hand, if you DON'T do that you will make MANY destructive mistakes.

I'd meditate and pray on that, to see if there is a way you can make a boundary for yourself and protect yourself from spew without being judging or controlling.

"W, you are right that it is important that we are able to communicate effectively so we can work together for the children. At this time I am unable to do this effectively by phone so will be using email to discuss schedules and other logistics. Please only call me if it is an emergency involving our children. Thank you for your understanding."

Then back it up by not taking her calls and not calling back unless it truly is an emergency.

Something like that. I don't know. I should probably go back to bed. But my point is while that email may be a little bit controlling in terms of types of communication, it will allow you to make all future correspondence with the tone you want. And I think that's in line with your mission statement.
