   Teresa just texted me saying "Pertend u dont know u told me that u would sind the money! I calld u a layer then and now!" (this is exactly how she wrote it - she cannot spell).

   First she says on a voice mail that "I gave you $140 dollars, what more do you want" when I tried to ask her which of the houses she wanted. Actually, she only gave me $40 because her half was $70 and she owed me $30 from the last job she did before I dissolved the business. She told me I could keep the money after I said we needed to split the business 50/50. She refused to split things down the middle and took all but 4 of the houses - and the only reason I got that fourth house was that the lady did not want to have Teresa working for her if I was not working with her.

   I think I will totally ignore this text as she is just baiting me. But hearing from her is the last thing I needed today with the homework and housework I have to get done tonight. I still have to fight to keep from wishing horrible things upon her.

   You are right, she is baiting you. You know you did the right things to take care of the business fairly. Focus on what you need to do tonight and try to get her out of your mind. Pray for her, that she will get all of her hearts desires, even if you don't mean it. It will do more for you than you will ever know. Hugs!

   If she asks you about that text later you can tell her that you thought it was a virus because the spelling was so awful and the message made no sense.

   It is my experience that someone who threatens you by saying they will call a lawyer, won't. If they had a case they would call the lawyer and let him/her threaten you.

   Ignore it - we already know she's not exactly stable.

   At first I thought she was saying she was calling a lawyer, but after reading it again I think she was trying to say, "I called you a liar then and now."

   And if you think that spelling was bad, you should have read the note she wrote me one time when I was working in her place at a house that I told her to keep when we first started working together (I had an inheritance to live on and she had three kids and no job except for that house). Anyway the message was supposed to read, "Wash the sheets." What she wrote was "wash the sh*ts." That was probably the most memorable of her spelling errors, and one I did not let her live down.

   OW ignore this idiot! Tell her to go back to school and get an education--it will help in the long run.

   SM! You're a teacher. Would you wish her on another teacher? It might help her in the long run but I'm sure it won't help the poor person that has to teach her! LOL!

   Just a question. You do have documentation of the proposed splitup sent to her by certified mail, right?
   It could go a long way to protect you if Ms Mental actually sues.
   I wonder if she reported her half of the income from the business to the IRS? They might be interested as well.

   I don't have her street address, and she refused to sign the papers to dissolve the business. She wouldn't have the money to hire a lawyer, and I sincerely doubt that any lawyer would take a case where the amount of money is less than $100. In fact, unless I am mistaken, the only way she could sue me for anything would be small claims court. She knows I have no money so there is nothing to gain. She has taken nearly all the houses, so she basically got more than half of the business. She wouldn't stand a chance in court.

   She actually held back from reporting some of her income, but there is no way that the IRS could prove anything. Besides, we never made enough money to interest the IRS. In the end, she was making considerably more than me because of that one house, but she was still making less than $7,000 a year from housecleaning. With three kids as dependents, the little bit that she held back from reporting really wouldn't change much of anything.

   I think the only reason she sent that text was that she thought I would immediately bow down to her and send her some money to convince her that I am not a liar. But she is going to find that I don't give a flying **** what she thinks of me, and that the only thing she will get from this is ignored. If she does press this, I might text her pointing out that she stole most of the houses and refused to divide things evenly, so I have no reason to send her the $40 that would have been hers had she agreed to divide things evenly. She has the text I sent about dividing things evenly, and she will think that I have the message she left on my voice mail.

   I have gone from being annoyed by having to deal with her to hating the very air that she breathes. I will pray for her - that is what God commands, but that does not mean that I have to like her.

    OW...It's a great relief isn't it to get away from those types of idiots? The best move you ever made. She's nothing more than a vexation for you & soon to be old memory.

    OW, you are a much better person for not letting her "taunt" you into saying or doing something that puts you on her level. Hold your head high; you have done the right thing.

    Much as I hate changing phone numbers (I kept my cell service for years just because the number wasn't portable)and while I would not wish her on the next guy, I think it is time.

    Her spelling reminds me of what you would see on the lolcats website...OW, can you change your number without incurring any costs? I know it would be a hassle, but I agree with Ailuromaniac.

    If, as Lainey suggests, you pray that Ms. T 'gets all her heart desires' then Teresa should be careful what she wishes for, shouldn't she?

    Since she did not sign the dissolution agreement, I'd cherry pick the remainder of 1/2 the contracts contact and see if you can acquire them under your new service name.

    Tell them up front that you are letting them know you are interested in their contracts as your choice of 1/2 the business that she dissolved by removing her signature from the business checking in a way that locked the accounts then refused to sign the dissolution agreement. If you don't get the full half of your first choice, keep running down the list till you do. Leave each owner you sign with a statement they can present to MS PRIS to let her know they know all the ins and outs of choosing your new service.

    If she kicks up a fuss, tell her she can sign off or you will keep on until you have it all again and she can just eat your dust.

    All of the houses have already chosen to go with her and she has been working for all of them for over a month now. I am not too worried about it because I do not want to work anywhere close to where she is working. I already have one house next door to one where she works, but we work on different days so I don't have to worry about her causing any problems. If we were to be in the same vicinity on the same day, I would not put it past her to try to start trouble with me. She is a vindictive little ***** who lives for whatever drama she can dredge up. Nothing would make her happier than to start a fight with me while I am on a job or to do something to my car when I am not looking. And she would consider it a bonus if I called the police on her as that would only give her something else to talk about.

    As far as changing my phone number, it would be more of a hassle to change my cell phone number than it would be just to ignore her. At least she is too stupid to remember to call my house phone. One time when I was trying to get her to settle things with the business in an adult way, she left three messages on my cell phone. The first message she was ranting about me getting a lawyer, the second one she was going on and on about how I could have her husband but she was going to make sure I didn't get his check and how I would wind up sleeping in a car because I couldn't have her house. The third message was that, since she couldn't do anything about me sleeping with her husband (which never happened and never would happen even if he were the last man on the face of the earth), maybe she should tell my roommate about this other guy she thinks I have been with. She then addressed my roommate (keep in mind this is on my cell phone voice mail and not the house phone answering machine) saying, "Hey Anthony, did you know Mary is sleeping with a married man?" Of course I am not sleeping with ANYBODY let alone a married man and my roommate knows this. He and I both got a good laugh out of the message as I played it on speaker phone for him.

    So as long as she forgets my home phone number, all I have to do is ignore her. If she does remember my home phone number, I will block her. She can call me a liar all she wants, she can forget about how she is the one who refused to deal with things in an adult manner all she wants, she can forget about how she got over half of the business all she wants. I don't care. She is the one who has to live with herself. I just wish she would forget I exist.

    Well, at least transcribe all messages and have a witness listen to them and sign the transcription for accuracy.

    You kept the books on the business so you can estimate the total value of the work and what would represent half. You can then document how much she "owes" from the houses she works less the full amount from the houses you work. If she is working 8 to your 4, you are essentially owed 1/2 the earnings of 4 houses in her portfolio until she signs the dissolution agreement. (Just in case she stumbles into a courtroom and drags you behind.)

    Also did the bank account ever get closed? If not has she deposited checks in it? That would be something to ignore or better yet when she whines for the money she has to A)meet you at the bank to close the account and B) sign the dissolution before you close the account.

    CYA and send her to voicemail.

    The bank account is closed - that is why she is harassing me for the money she now says she is owed. Other than that, as far as I am concerned, there is no business involving Teresa and myself. She needs to go her way and leave me alone.

    I am already starting new. My new co-worker and I have 5 houses so far, and as soon as I get some money from my grant, I will put an ad in one of the mobile home parks and hopefully get more business.

    Teresa won't drag me into court for anything. All she is owed is $40, which, from what I have now been told, is not enough to even qualify for small claims court.

    Good luck with adding more houses to your line-up. Ignore her if you can. You should be able to have her blocked on your cell so she can't continue to harrass you.

    if i were you, i would have sued her for the part of the business more than 50 percent that she stole from you. small claims court is wonderful, cheap, and fast...

    OW, looks like you covered all you could. I hope that T won't go any further with this. Sounds like you and new co-worker are building things up again. I hope it works out well for you both. I will admit, I will miss those stories! I hope there are some still out there that you may want to share or new ones to be made. I wish you the best in your recovery of the business and in your life. I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best. Love, Mama Lynn
