Should I just tell her that?
Ugh.
I'm thinking, she refused to accept the diplomatic response, so you might have to.
Hopefully someone else will have a better idea...
"I'm looking forward to your positive response."
Presumptive much?
Oh, look at the pretties!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Totally. Which, you might imagine, is the problem. Let's just put it this way, I could not in any kind of good conscience cite anyone else for her problems.

I feel for you, bonny. I've been put in that situation, unfortunately, and had no choice but to say something whether I wanted to or not (the military isn't great about giving you choices.) If you have an option, then take it and be blunt with her. You'll lose the client, but you'll have the satisfaction of not having to do something distasteful.

You'll lose the client
Oh gawd. I've been well shut of her for more than 4 years. She was a crap client and I finally had to suggest that she wasn't getting anything out of it. You can't cancel a load of sessions and pretend like you are actually doing any work.
She came back for a catch-up last year and I know now, that she was setting me up to participate in this mess. Thankfully, my rates (which she tried hard to get me to lower) saved me from that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
bonny, my mom's had to deal with something similar and iirc she had a very good response. I'll ask her.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

They're in Japan. Where it will not be 3 am.
