Pushed Over

[Painter]

"Yes, this is true but, remember she's trying to paint me in a bad light. By starting to say words like abuse and mental stability I've now no idea what she is capable of. I can handle waiting until the L gets back with advice. It's all in the email to him."

I agree with taking it slow right now. You stated your objections to her in writing in a rational manner, you contacted your lawyer, and by waiting for the lawyer to get back to you, you are demonstrating that you are remaining calm and collected in an extremely stressful and concerning situation.

Be prepared for more provocations...
