Unless she asks a direct question about S3 such as "did you pack his green shirt?" or "how is he doing with potty training?" or "Where am I picking S3 up today"
I see no need in answering her. I dont think thats being mean or cold, its just me respecting my own boundaries i have set.
I think If i continued to respond where i dont NEED to, i run the risk of actually being mean or cold verbally. I think at this juncture, silence is golden.
She hasnt gotten silence from me except during the TRO period before communication about S3 was opened. This is how I have chosen to establish and display detachment.
Steve, you are right about the spoiled brat complex. Her parents have ALWAYS swooped in to save her @$$ when she has gone through these cycles before and had to bail out of living situations after she has devalued and discarded people, or been found out for who and what she is (this is what happened between her last EX and Me, she moved out of state to live with some guy [b]{while her EX was still deployed in the Army mind you.....} and when he discovered what she had done (this guy was also a soldier) he sent her packing in shame) Her parents have always been there to rescue her when she does this. Plus all the guys she has duped over the years, she is totally used to people just doing what she asks, especially when she spins the "Woe is me" act along with it. When she doesnt get her way, is when she goes into antagonistic passive aggressive attack mode.
