[quote=Anonymous]Often on DCUM, people suggest "slow fading" friends who can't take a hint or would otherwise not be receptive to a conversation about boundaries.

How does slow fading work when the person is a constant texter, emailer and caller. This person will also reach out to other family members if she isn't getting a response. For example, I told her I was busy and needed some space. Two days passed and she started up with the constant calls and texts. I left my phone on DND and she started emailing me.

I messaged her back after 12 hrs and said I wasn't able to call her back and asked how her day was. She proceeded to go to my husband's FB and message him a long message about how I'm ignoring her and will he talk to me for her. 
He (nicely) told her that I have been super stressed and to back off.  She started spamming him with several more messages. The crazy thing is that they are all about her problems. Not "I'm so worried about Larla...." but instead "I need to talk to her about something that happened at work and she isn't calling me back!"
