XW showing signs or just MLC script

sweetheart you block a private number by sending it to voice mail.

SCREEN YOUR CALLS.

Wow, I'm shaking after reading that exchange. I'm so sorry you experienced that conversation. So upsetting to read it. Her projection is masterful.

You cannot control what she does. You cannot control whether or not she's going to call you or anyone else you love. You have absolute control over one thing and one thing only: Your response.

I'm sorry to say this my friend, and I say it as gently as possible, think of this as a 2x4 wrapped in a fluffy pink blanket: You let that conversation go on way too long. You got sucked in right at this point:

XW: I miss the girls.

Me: I believe you. But have you told them and explained to them what happened. Why you neglected them for so long.

My hope for you is that after some calm reflection (or a few punches to a punching bag or pillow, depending on your mood) you can put some distance between yourself and your conversation with her and then come back and re-read your post with a critical eye, so you have a better sense of how she escalates and manipulates.

Seems to me she plays on your protective instincts then plays the victim and starts dragging in other people you love. I swear dealing with a MLCer is like handling a live rattlesnake. The only way to survive is not to handle it at all. Drop and run.

I hope that 2x4 didn't hurt too much Irish. I don't know why, but I had a feeling something was up on your end. Thanks for the update. Congrats, you and a few others are now in the Bttrfly spidey sense zone ... woke up to snow here Monday morning. Off to get my folks and my cousin after work today for a crazy Italian sleep over tonight. Should be fun.

Send all private #s to voice mail. Take control back. You deserve peace. Send her support via prayers. IMHO that's the best medicine for our MLCers.

DON'T SEND THE GEESE THIS FAR SOUTH!!! (lol)
