...or maybe not really...actually, it's more like one of the characters has decided to totally forego any plot development and just go back and re-enact a chpater from 5 years ago. UGH!
So, the idea of trying to be there for her as far as her father's surgery goes is, apparently, not a good one. She clearly has decided to use any contact from me as an excuse to act-out. So, yesterday it basically came down to her telling me that my program is really all about making her feel bad and look like a loser compared to me

....O...M...G!!!!!! I could friggin' not make this sh*t up! I told her that I was not going to discuss it with her and hung up....
.....Then, she sends me this e-mail. I only read the first paragraph. And that was all I needed to read to know that there was no good reason to read the rest....So, I didn't. Returned it to her, saying that I had only read one paragraph, that I didn't want to play dysfunctional head-games, and that, if she wanted to communicate with me in any way I needed her to keep it in reality. Then I called some friends and let them know I might be needing their help screening furtue e-mails from her.
The worst thing about it -- or maybe this is actually a good thing for me to have to see???? -- is that it is so crystal clear that she is absolutely not even one tiny little bit healthier than she was 5 years ago.
And that makes me really, really sad.
So, looks like she is working toward getting me to set a "no contact" boundary. UGH! UGH! UGH!
