Aww, you are so sweet. Here is what just happened to me which really threw me. I don't know if it's proper to discuss things that aren't related to this thread but I think this one is. The other day I was really overwhelmed thinking about the money for Lola and if I would have enough left over to buy food. I know. Well, after I left my message for my "best friend of 50 years" and didn't get a call back (considering how I was feeling) I just went on with my day and anxiety. After that I spoke with a friend who I hadn't spoken with in about 8 years which took about 1-1/2 hours. During that call I got a call from my "best friend" which I could not answer nor one from my niece. Trying to make this short, I did not get back to her that day. She called me the next day and was very upset because I didn't get back to her the same day because I made her worry so I apologized many times but she was still make a big thing of it so after a while we decided to let it go and had a great conversation and we decided that we were good and ended on a good note. Next day at 9:22 am (when she emailed me) she told me that when she was concerned I said that I thought she was overreacting a bit but she didn't like that all and told me that she was sick of listening to my problems and that they brought her down when she is happy and that I should see a therapist and that she could not take it anymore. I was shocked by this. I wrote her two more emails and in the last one I told her that I would not call her until she apologized for the nasty email. Her next email said "don't call me anymore". How about that! I have listened to her for hours about her problems and never complained and I am a good listener. I must add that Helen is a recovering alcoholic and I have always believed her when she said that she hasn't had a drink is 16 years. The only time she acts like (mean) is when she is drinking. I just don't know but this is it for me, I will not be spoken to like after being such a good friend to her. It takes a lot for me to end a friendship but I don't deserve to be treated like that. Sorry for the length of this but I know you will understand. I hope I haven't overdone it. Nancy : )
