This timeless quote just keeps working:

With a Self Righteous Skank, you'd have better chance of driving a rubber nail into a two-by-four than pounding into their thick skulls that something is wrong, and that *they're not being persecuted because they're mystically noble, they're being harangued because their behavior is appalling.*

I got another one this a.m. I've blocked her from work & yahoo
emails, thank god, but the shit still goes thru to my freaks.net
addresses.

====================

Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2003 02:34:40 +0000
From: X .
To: evilE
Subject: [goddessdaughter]

I would very much like to see you and Sweetie. I have always felt that
friendships are important, and that part of friendship is being able
to disagree, fight with, be angered by, and feel disgusted with one's
friends at any given time. But the best part of friendship is moving
past bad times and still want to be friends. I very much want to
remain your friend. I am not online very often, so if you want to
call me please call 577-xxxx.

If you feel we can never be friends again, I will have no choice but
to understand. I love you very much and you have been a major
influence in my life and the lives of my children. [goddessdaughter] misses you
very very much. Please at the very least get in touch with her. She
would love a letter.

I miss you.

love,
X

me to J-Law:

I'm so tired of this bulls*it. Just sick of it. I am
so tempted to cut and paste all the nasty, hideous,
rotten things she said to me and about me (and Sweetie) in
our various emails back and forth, just to let her
know that I am aware of what she *really* thinks and
sorry, but the gravy train is permanently out of
commission.

ARGH!!! THIS JUST PISSES ME OFF!!! And I loved how she
used '[goddessdaughter name]' as the title so that I would be sure
and open it, just in case the kid is dying of cancer
or in the hospital or something awful, but then of
course the letter is all 'me me me me me' and the
usual BULLCRAP of playing the wounded party, because
she didn't do anything wrong, don'tchaknow?


==========================

and a little extra commentary I put in a 'friends only' LJ post that
I will turn 'private' later today:

Look, I have NO problem with the idea of having disagreements with
friends, and then making up again. These things happen all the time.
But when X and her husband pulled the "You can never see our
children again" number, that was IT. THE END. You do not use your
children as bargaining chips in fights. You do not use my love as a
weapon against me in order to get what you want. That is not just
WRONG. That is EVIL and INSANE and I will not willingly involve
myself with EVIL INSANE people if I can possibly help it.

And then, just for nails in the coffin, she badmouthed me to my
family. Which is also past the boundary of no return. You do not go
telling my family that I'm a Satanist Pervert Slut Baby-Hater and
then expect me to come running back to you when you're ready to be
my "friend" again, sorry.
================================================

I am so very tempted to reply...with at least the above 2 paragraphs,
which sum up my position nicely. But, battles of wits with unarmed
persons, teaching pigs to sing, nailing Jell-O to a tree, etc. I just
don't want to open up any further dialogue. I am DONE DONE DONE with
that lying manipulative user skank whore bitch, DONE. No more of my
energy or caring or interest goes to her. DONE.

That POE quote about calling skanks on their behavior is just
so...timeless. Sad and scary how well it applies to both 'skye' and X,
and also sad & scary that I consider skye to be a better person,
despite her insanity & abusiveness, than X. Sadder & scarier
because X has kids.

I wrote this to X but then didn't send it:

I really don't have anything else to say to you, and I hoped you
would get the hint and leave me alone. I guess I need to just come
out and say it: Leave Me Alone.

There are a couple of boundaries that you crossed that turned this
from a normal, fixable disagreement between friends into a dead
thing. You used your children as bargaining chips. You badmouthed me
to my family. These are not forgivable. These are not things that
friends do to each other.

My mother was doubtless put into a situation similar to yours when
she went through her various divorces. She must have lost some
friends with each marriage that ended. She and her children managed
to make it just fine, and you will too.

I am very sorry for your children and I am very sorry for you and I
am very sorry for M. But I can not be your friend, I can not be
M's friend, and I cannot have a relationship with the children
because you have demonstrated a pathological and evil willingness to
manipulate me through my love for your children.
