Like every Saturday for the last several weeks, "Cybil" e-mailed...This time she not only e-mailed my husband, but also e-mailed me as well (same message). She wrote at the bottom that she had e-mailed me because, for some reason, I clearly thought she was the issue, when this in fact, was not true. This time she notified us both of her intentions of contacting the military about him being enlisted again. For some odd reason she is STUCK on him being back in the military, although he is not active or in the reserves any longer and keeps telling her that. She listed all of the departments and agencies she would contact and said that he had left her no other choice.
No other choice? He had given you the answer to your requests, YOU just refused to accept his responses. Clearly, I was annoyed with the fact that once again she was bugging me AGAIN over this nonsense and e-mailed her back. I told her once more, that I had asked her to keep myself and my family out of her issues. Her problems did not involve me and they were none of my business. Further, I addressed the fact that if he was in the military she would know about it considering they shared custody of their daughter.
I wasn't brutally mean to her, just addressed what she had written. I went out to run some errands and got an e-mail message on my phone several hours later. I was shocked to find her being a whole lot nicer than usual, a little sarcastic, but nicer. She actually thanked me for responding to her (is this a trick?) and told me she just wanted information. Alright, fine. If information is what will make you back off a little, then fine, information is what you'll get. I explained to her my position and that I was frustrated by her behavior and actions, so she wasn't the only person frustrated in this mess. I said that her dragging things out was only making life more complicated for everyone, the sooner their legal matters were finalized, the sooner we could all move on in peace.
Surprise, surprise, she actually continued with being nice. I don't take it for being genuine, but mainly her just getting some attention she wanted for the moment and calming down for a bit. So, this is my latest go-around with "Cybil"...This whole ordeal with her has only taught me to try anything and everything when it comes to this woman. Snap back when she attacks, kill her with kindness when it's needed, and hell, sometimes throw the pity card right back at her. Whatever it takes to "deal" with her is what I will do. My husband is of course very skeptical. He says she is only doing it to gain information, my response? Well, information is what she wants, and the information she gets is on a need to know basis. I'm not putting myself in jeopardy and know her well enough to know that she will turn and stab you in the back when you piss her off or she wants something from you. I am smarter than that!
So, she now wants to be buddies and collaborate together on whether or not her lawyer and my husband's lawyer are actually doing their jobs. Fine with me...As they say, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!"
Onward and upward and shining on!
