She’s back! This arrived at 7.30pm this evening:

“Happy Birthday
What kind of day is it going to be?
I could be anywhere at all today…..”

My reply:

“Thank you for the (sincere???!!!) birthday wish…….
It is going to be the worst birthday of my life I can assure you – I’m
afraid to go outside in case I do something that you find out about and
puts me in an even worse position.
What can I offer you for some respite to your threats? I am willing to
submit to any and all demands you may put upon me in order to keep my
secrets safe from all the people that I know.
Please tell me what it is you want, I beg you!”

Goodness only knows what the response to that will be, but what else can I
do with the position I find myself in?
