Harassing Calls

A few weeks ago my ex called me to let me know that she would be changing her cell number.  She went on to explain the harassing phone calls she had been receiving from her sister-in-law Amy.  On occasion, Amy would call my ex to borrow money to pay her household bills.  She has been doing this off and on for years.  I remember at least two instances while my ex and I were still married of her borrowing money.  I do not think she ever paid that money back.  Anyway, my ex goes on to say that Amy’s borrowing ways continued but at least she would pay the money back.

Amy calls my ex and asks for my ex’s credit card number so that she can give it to the water company to pay her approx $200 bill.  The ex said that she did not have the money to lend her this go-a-round.  Amy would not take no for an answer.  She started calling and texting the ex multiple times a day.  They got into a fight about how Amy would never babysit ex’s younger son and how the ex should sit down to go over Amy’s finances on why she needs to borrow money so often.  A few days goes by without any calls or texts from Amy.  Then, the ex receives a call from Amy.  She immediately starts off the conversation practically demanding the ex’s credit card as if it is her responsibility to pay Amy’s bills.  That was the last straw and the ex changed her number.

A part of me is glad this happened as I believe Amy had a hand, if not her entire idea, in the Courtney situation.
