She is crossing boundaries by emailing you and liking your FB posts. But I know you don't want to deal with the fallout of blocking her, which I can understand. But it would help YOU to not feel invaded if you blocked her.
Also, try to shift your focus off of her and back onto YOU... your healing, your recovery, your love of life, all that makes you happy and fulfilled. If you have a hobby or interest, perhaps throw yourself into it. Or journal. I always find journaling to be very healing. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

Thanks. I don't feel like blocking her at this time as it may cause more drama. She lives in my hometown and near my relatives. I don't want a smear campaign. She might do it in a covert way...telling relatives she is concerned about me etc. But it would just be more vindictive as she knows I don't like my relatives to know all my business.
It sounds like I am afraid of this person.
I am, kind of. In latest emails she has shown a nasty side of her that I have never seen before. I guess that's how you know for sure that you are dealing with a narcissist.
It gets complicated when these so called friendships span decades.
I am taking care...although I could do more for myself. I do journal.
Thanks, Married Lady!!!!
