[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 701372, member: 20051"] I agree with MOF, I think you knew, deep down, that she wasn't going to repay you. I would just let it go. Respond to her e-mail, "I am well, sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, I hope you feel better soon." and step away from it. Part of the emotional manipulation is that they know they control you through it. The more you respond becoming upset, the more she has control over you. Don't let her have it. Stay light and breezy and don't let her know that her behavior affects you in any way. Really, it's the same advice you would give anyone dealing with a bully. Going forward, if you do choose to give her money, give it knowing that it is a gift and that you will no be reimbursed. If you can't or won't do that just tell her, "Sorry, I don't have any extra money to spare right now." [/QUOTE]
