toddstar... did you get my msg?
Yes, I just emailed you.
Why do you assume she's hurt and confused because she thinks you've moved on? Maybe she's just hurt and confused because you went from this love sick puppy dog who kept giving her all this attention and pretended to be friendly and now you've done a 360 on her and you're treating her cold and with indifference. My point you ask? Stop assuming what you think is going on in her head because it's all going to point to wishful thinking on your part.
You need to forget everything she says that has any emotional ties to it and keep you conversations pleasantly steared towards your son. My suggestions: You can ask her how she's doing and you can allow her to ask you how you're doing and don't be rude or unpleasant while doing it.
Saying 'f her" is your anger and it's one of the stages of grief. Have you read "The Five Stages of Grief?"

Wakeup you are probably right but I have had enough of being the love sick puppy. People can change at any given moment. I found, with aid from this forum, my moment and I know I will be fine.
Its stupid to do what she's doing and try to engage someone like that by email. So much can get lost in translation. As WUp said, keep the msg focus on your son. If she says she is upset, just ignore those txts unless you think it is affecting your son, in which case tell her to call you. Get it out of email realm.
Good luck. She sounds needy.
