Thanks, T. I know you are right. She said she did not talk to a lawyer, just read some things online.
Last night it became so clear to me what this really was--manipulation. She wouldn't have said any of this if it weren't for my GAL. She didn't like it and started up her antics. I can't believe I almost fell for it, too. I went back to getting ready, feeling like crap, considering no longer wanting to go, wondering if I should go down and talk to her, maybe propose I could work part time and we could work together to afford another place. OMG! That is exactly what she wanted! Me feeling distraught, cancelling my GAL, and coming to her to negotiate things on her terms. The good news is I did NOT fall for it and I am seeing all these things more clearly.
To top it off, one of her main points in assaulting my GAL last night was drilling me on how late I would be out. She said she had to be at work for some special thing at 5am and didn't want to be woken up by the dogs barking if I came home late. I told her it isn't a concern. That's when she decided to make it about the D. Well, it turns out this morning that she left just after 6, which is right at her normal time! Apparently, she made the whole thing up.
