[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 634158, member: 3419"] I reconnected with an old friend via email. S was in our wedding, and because of various issues, arguments and behaviors, we just quit speaking. She moved to the Dakotas, we moved to the E. Coast. Haven't spoken in 35 yrs. She saw my little sister, then decided to look me up. Found me through a poetry website. We started emailing. Fun! But ... it got weirder and weirder. She is still hurting from being bullied, and among other odd emails, sent me one about karma--kids in our elementary school who died or had family members die. J. was shot during a drug deal; S. jumped off a bridge; P's son was killed in a car crash. Huh? Someone bullies you when you're 9 yrs old and they deserve to die before they reach adulthood? And the one that bothered me the most was the mention of P's son who was killed in a car crash. I would never, ever, EVER wish that on anyone, no matter what they had done to me. I ignored that email. I responded to a few others. She also writes emails about sex and uses vulgar language. I'm letting the relationship slide, deliberately. NOW I remember why we distanced ourselves. She loves to say the most outrageous thing she can, preferably in public, to create the biggest response. It's like she's screaming, "Pay attention to me!" But it's bad attention. What's with that? She's 57 years old. Have at it. Just curious on what her diagnosis would be. (And yes, mental illness makes me sad. This is way beyond bitterness.) [/QUOTE]
