Thank you for your response. It is rather ironic that this thread should be revived today. I had completely abandoned my email account since this incident. It just became too overwhelming to deal with. And just last night I bit the bullet and went in and cleared everything out so that I could actually check my email and communicate with those I cared to.

I'd like to say that I did something clever to fix this problem, but in the end I simply stopped answering her calls, avoided my email entirely. This did have the desired effect. At family gatherings that this woman was present at family members would say "what the heck, you don't answer your email at all anymore?" I just said I was having computer issues and left it at that and avoided her entirely.
