Emails to this woman, I did say horrible things, is that a problem?

Okay. About a fortnight ago I started getting hassling emails from a woman about another person I know. She was lying I know, but I genuinely think she has a mental health problem and was afraid that if I didn't answer her, she'd harm herself. I agreed with everything she said hoping she'd get fed up and leave me alone. Today, she threatened legal action on me because I forwarded the first 2 or 3 emails she sent me to another person who was also getting emails from her, because we were both confused and couldn't understand what was happening. In my emails to this woman, I did say horrible things to get her to go away. My question is...so where do I stand?

It was nice of you to agree with this woman about her lies, because that is supposed to help people feel safe and understood.

But this woman seems very...eccentric. I mean, she's trying to get legal action against you, because you forwarded some emails from her to your friend? There's nothing against you here at all. Not any illegal happenings anyway. I understand that you said horrible things to get her to go away, because we all do when in a stressful situation.

I would try and avoid the woman and not reply back to her emails. Don't give her the satisfaction, basically! If you are very worried about it, confide in a friend. You could also call one of those special helplines on legal cases and explain the situation. To be honest, I think this woman knows she has made up these lies and needs to cover her tracks. Don't let her get to you.

I hope this helps you!

I wudnt worry about it,she obviously crazy,the best thing you can do is ignore the emails,dont even read the ones she sent u,but just keep them just in case,she cant do anything legally because she was slandering yur friend anyway

Just block the woman's emails and ignore her...

Yes, this woman seems to be very...wahts the word...crazy. Block her email address, don't respond to them, or even change your email address. Also, you may want to call someone, even like the police, and be like there is a woman who keeps emailing me crazy lies and she is starting to bug me very much so, is there any one you can help. They may say no, unless she has threatened you, but it is worth a try. Don't give in and agree to her lies, just don't even respond.
