[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 250993"] I would hold off making any decisions. In addition, keep your emotions, as best as you are able, in check. As you know, bringing her into your home is likely to be highly problematic and probably not advisable. You do need to protect yourself...your instincts are telling you this and that is healthy and wise. If you would like and feel strong enough to do so, you might call her, but stay in fact finding mode. Do not commit to anything. Do not say much. Just find out what's what. I wouldn't necessarily fully believe everything she says. It might be factual, or not, or something in between. Give yourself time to take it all in. One option, depending on the situation, you might see if there is help you can provide for her from afar...legal, medical, etc. Very generally speaking...my thought is to check it out, but hold back emotionally and in taking any action. Tell her you need a little time to think things through. As long as she is making sense, you might ask what it is she needs and/or expects you to do. Can you text back this type of thing??? If she starts getting angry or sounds illogical, I would figure out a way to end this discussion. Again, don't offer anything. Just listen. See how you might contact her again..perhaps tomorrow. Do you have someone in "real" life that you can talk with about this? This has got to be a difficult night...I'm sorry for your pain. [/QUOTE]
