Re: She keeps trying to IM me

Right. I think you've found your answer there. Blocking her

individually is a much better answer than turning off your

ability to communicate with other people. I've never let my nada

know how to find me online beyond one e-mail address. I can

imagine how much of a pest she'd make of herself if she could IM

me. I've never given her my cell phone number for the same

reason.

Sigh, this episode (and trigger) finally pushed me over the edge. I called my

employer's EAP and talked to someone. I was really worried that the counselor

wouldn't understand the behavior my mother was exhibiting and how it was

affecting me, but he was very understanding and very sympathetic. He felt I

needed to be referred to an therapist that can see me face-to-face even if it's

only for one session, to talk through it all.

They will be calling me in 24-48 hours with some options.

Question: can I charge my nada for the copays?
