live and let live. you don't like her? don't hang with her. don't give her your time.
Point well taken. I know on the surface, it is just an email. Just a question. But with my family, it is never "just an email" or "just a question". There are way too many traps and manipulation beneath the surface. What appears as a sheep, is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I guess I could answer her quickly and be done with it. My therapist used to try to encourage me to wait a day before answering anyway.
