Quote: Why in the world is she contacting me so much now? I haven't said anything blatant like "I'm done and I'm looking elsewhere" nor have I blown up at her in return. What a puzzle.
Because she wants to be in control and does not like it, thus takes out her anger on you, when you do not act as you did before. In her mind, despite her setting legal boundaries, you should still available when she needs. The idea of you setting boundaries and saying no is not acceptable and thus the continued anger.
Your actions are not paying dividends currently, but you will always know you have been honest with her and yourself.
