Back story--Last spring I termed a long time girl because she called my referral service told them i was NOT doing my job that i did nothing school related with the kids she made an appointment for the mentor to come here, and have a meeting with me her and mentor to revamp my wholeprogram to do pre k with her kid. All behind my back. I told her I do NOT offer pre k. So she tried to bully me into doing pre k with her 4 year old. She then searched out and found a center to take her come august for pre k. She called the referral service to find a program to transport her from me to preschool and back for free she said since they wouldnt force me to do pre k then they should provide transport to an from someone who would. Then she expected me to subtract preschool fees from her bill because I wouldn't provide it. She was paid up 1200 bucks because her employer paid childcare and they pay 12 Weeks behind. Because of paperwork lagtime But I require payment up front. So she was paid up 12 weeks. Well when I found out she called and attempted to get me in trouble I confronted her, termed her and refunded her the money.
Well I got a call Tuesday and didn't answer it. It went to voicemail. It was the girl, it's me call me. I miss you.
I didn't call. So I get a text yesterday morning, I told her you would call today. I will be with her at 6 pm.
Then I get one later saying I'm with her now she is waiting on your call.
Then I get one late last night saying,... She is in bed I told her you would call tomorrow
So,..... What do I do????
Ignoring isn't working
But I don't want to restart a relationship with them. They aren't my friends, they aren't clients, I'm done being her therapist. I don't want the drama. So,....
Do I text back saying I'll call the girl and say happy birthday to her today.
Ignore and wait for her toshow up at my door?
Text back and tell mom to leave me alone?
Call girl, tell her happy birthday, chat a moment or two and then text mom saying that I think it best to allow her to forget us. That since she is no longer part of our program I feel it best to let the connection be forgotten. I have no desire to cultivate a friendship with this mother. She has mistakingly interpreted my professional relationship while she was a client for lifelong friendship. We have never been social friends. We are 15 years aged apart, she is single, dating a felon in jail. We don't share interests, I was her provider, her friendly face every morning. Not her gal pal and after the way she backstabbed me I don't want to be her friend. So I need words. Help.
