SD65 - I was wrong, the $ didn't last til next month
SD65 hit DH89 up for $300 Monday, allegedly for tires. I naively thought we'd be done with her $ calls til next month but no. I got a text and 2 phone messages today asking me to have DH89 call her. I remembered your advice to " forget". After thinking about it a couple hours, I told DH she called, he said she probably wants $ (duh). I said are you okay with me "forgetting" to tell you? He said okay.
So, stay tuned, I'll let you know how she ramps it up in the meantime, I locked the doors.

It's so annoying to have to lock doors because people lack boundaries.

There's something very freeing when we change our behavior around toxic people. It's a way of taking care of ourselves. I LOVE that you will be forgetting to tell DH that she has called. I hope he never answers the phone.
Next question for your DH: "Can I tell her you said no more handouts?"

To my surprise, Morning Mia, we haven't heard back from her. DH89 asked once, after his nap that day, if she'd called. He hasn't asked since. Good idea to ask him whether he wants me to always "forget". I'm going to see what happens here.

She texted again asking me to have DH89 call her. I'm ignoring again. Various responses are going thru my head like "This constant requesting for $ is elder abuse" and "I'd hate to have to call the police about your elder abuse cuz that would be a problem with all your outstanding warrants" but bottom line, I just don't want to interact with her and replying would open the door.

That text doesn't necessarily require a response. You could've asked your DH and he forgot. Or he was napping when you received the text, life happened, and it slipped your mind. 🤷🏼♀️
