Moving on (Saying ILY pt. 5)

[mtb1981]

Yes be warm and pleasant in your interactions. Be that to a fault. But still be detached. Don't initiate contact ever unless its an emergency. But when you respond be sweeter than punch.

I am going to have to put more effort into this. Anytime she contacts me, it is usually because she wants money or something. When I say no, she starts spewing venom. It is hard to come across as pleasant when she is in that mode. I am not mean or anything, but I get very short and the conversation always ends with her being angry. I would give anything for her to go back to being her old self, but I know there is nothing I can do about that. It is up to her to make those changes...
