Hi Kiya -

YAY! I'm so glad that you've been able to get a little space from her. Good for you! I'm 100% for using convenient excuses to soften the blow with people that don't respect your boundaries otherwise

Does she have your email address? I'd be tempted to set up a rule, if your email program lets you do that, that automatically trashes any emails from her - so you don't have to see them or respond! (But yeah, I'm a bit avoidant, apparently!)

Seriously, I'm glad (and relieved) for you! Take care of yourself, and good luck with the partial program!
