Thanks for the concern, Beth and Roxy.

I set up a folder to route her email into, so at least it's not pinging my phone any longer. Part of why I was so disturbed was that she dug around online enough to unearth an email address that I only use for one very specific purpose (communication with recruiters), and it's not an address that I've given to any of my friends. To get this one, she would have had to do some pretty deep Google searching. (She continued sending me emails after the ones that prompted me to post here. 14 total so far, though nothing since yesterday morning, so maybe she's given up since I refuse to engage.)

I have told my ex, and apparently he's been getting a barrage of emails from her as well. He's cut off communication, now that he realizes she's obsessed in an unhealthy way. And neither one of us is frequenting any of the neighborhoods where he would occasionally meet her for coffee...just in case. I was actually with him reviewing some upcoming project work heading our way when I received her first email. I just didn't know at the time that her initial bizarre communication had anything to with him. We now meet for our working sessions in a neighborhood where neither of us live.

I just don't understand the crazy, obsessive thing. I know women who have done some silly things where men are concerned, but tracking down ex-girlfriends and telling them you want to befriend them? Really?
