[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 718249, member: 15032"] I 100% agree with Recovering. 2017 is the year of ME. I have had to this for my marriage, and my own mental health and well being to compensate for all of the stress Difficult Child has put us under for the past several years. I reconnected with a high school acquaintance three years ago on Facebook. She contacted me, we had lunch and hit it off. She realized by seeing posts that we had condos in the same town in Florida. I was super delighted with finding a new friend at this age because let's face it, it does get a bit harder as we get older and not as open to people entering our lives. My husband, who is not a people person at all, and her husband got along well initially and to make a long story short, things got "uncomfortable" as time went on. Long story short, the friendship ended recently in disaster. Basically she took my easygoing nature as a way to try to manipulate me and make me feel ways that no one that is a friend would make you feel. Doing this knowing the tremendous stress I have been under with our son to suit herself. I walked away from it all because if someone thinks they are in the right there isn't much you can do. I never discussed why I am now distant and will remain so but I am done with it. Friendship should not cause you stress. I have friends I've had for 40 years and have never experienced that with these ladies. To me it sounds like this person may be someone you would not want in your inner circle. [/QUOTE]
