owendancer and Ellen,

I thank you both for taking the time and giving your thoughts in replying to my post. I wish this had not happened to me, and that I was smart enough to realize that I myself should have kept my distance from day one with her. I think that she is, by nature, a very friendly person who is used to establishing close relationships with her real friends, and she doesn't quite know yet how to properly establish and maintain "business friendships".

You both point out ideas and options that I think will help me understand my feelings and my situation, and I thank you sincerely.
