[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 185299, member: 1157"] You know ... it occurs to me that part of the reason I had this reaction (and others, but not as strong as that one) to Oldest's latest "crisis" is that, things change so quickly. I was slightly concerned yesterday because the message Oldest had up on Facebook smacked of depression (something about "questioning everything in life"). Then again, she likes attention. But, yesterday was a whirlwind when it came to her moods. Youngest saw her out Friday night, said she was drinking heavily and got very dramatic at the bar... at one point threw her keys at boyfriend and said she was done with him, he worked too much. Then later went back and got her keys and said she wanted to go home, she was tired. I was taking Youngest to lunch yesterday when she got a call from Oldest, first calm then screaming at her for various things. Youngst didn't say goodbye when she left Friday, Youngest was stupid for hanging out an older man she met in a bar (never mind Oldest moved in with a man she met in a bar, after knowing him 2 weeks), Youngest was going to end up dead or raped and Oldest didn't want to "get that call from her, ever." Very dramatic stuff. She called me later saying she was "done with this family" (how many times have I heard that?!), went on and on about how I never do anything for her, I do everything for YOungest, yada yada yada. I told her fine, if you're done with us thanks for letting me know so I can find someone else to take your ticket to Bruce Springsteen Monday. That got her. I told her not call me making stupid threats. She said she was NOT suicidal Friday night, and that everyone overreacted and she was mad they were all talking about her. She was calm by last night, even met me and my friends for a bit out near where she lives. She dominated the conversation, and it was uncomfortable. Wore me out. Then, at 2 am, m,y phone rang, it was Youngest, saying she had been out at the same bar where boyfriend works again and Oldest had attacked her, screaming, dragged her into the bathroom, pushed her up against a wall, and screamed at her so much she was spitting in her face. All because Youngest showed up with friends that included the older guy she met there. Youngest left in tears, no one stopped Oldest. I don't think she'll be going back there again (not a bad thing). Apparently her boyfriend is now roped in, called Youngest yesterday to say how important family was to him, and how it hurt him to see our family doing this to each other. He has no idea what he's gotten himself into. Just typing it out is exhausting. She's out of control. I really DONT want to take her to the concert, except that most of things weren't done to me, they were done to Youngest (and I am not even supposed to know about them).
