please don't send that message... that comes across soooo weak... maybe you can ask her how she would like to handle it... "so--how do you suppose we ought to go about taking care of this?" or, "any thoughts on how we might handle the vet bills?" let her ask you for the help... let her offer to pay you back... i'm sure she has funds to spend on her new life with OM... maybe she ought to budget accordingly, instead of expecting you to help fund her WW living...

my two cents

agreed! Never fund her WW living ways... even in a secondary manner.

Good for you on the rock climbing... keep it up!! It is fun isn't it? and has a nice social dynamic.

For good ole facebook... I recommend blocking her. If she wants to post stuff like that, then just block her. I did early on... and it was one of the best moves I made, 3 years later it is still that way :-). At the very least unfollow her.

For the taxes, I think this is a good opportunity for you. Request the required documents you need from her and take care of it on your own.

Good luck!
