Hi Scrant, I'm sure Zeus will have some great ideas for responses, and I'll chip in too if that's okay.

1) Doing family things doesn't work for me right now...
2) Unh huh...is that so..
3) Really??
4) Oh, S and I already booked our trip to Las Vegas.
5) Wow, Monica (female cookery teacher) makes the best meatballs I ever tasted!

I would say, never make it about OM, just about how you are living your life now. Afford her very limited access, let some calls go to VM, leave it a while before responding to texts. Put your energy into planning your 'new' life - not thinking about your 'old' one. I know that's hard as it is still early days since the S, but it will truly serve you well.

Take care...x
