[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 699129, member: 4152"] I think that is wise advice re: the first time someone does something out of line, let it go. My old friend did something "far out," and I absolutely do wish I had let it go. Sadly, I did let that interfere with the friendship. Ironically, this was many years ago and very recently we have been connecting again...just saw her recently, but neither of us have brought up the past. It is very good to see her and she is doing well. I can tell that her confidence is much improved. I sense that she was previously going through something I was unaware of. Isn't that likely the case in many of these stories? Friendship #2 is a little different, in that there have been more than one incidence of weirdness. However, this friend has been like an angel to me for many years. And, I understand and empathize with the horrible stressers she is facing. I think I learned something from that first experience. Different, but a thread of similarity. In a certain kind of way, I'm doing the best I can to let it go. Since it's happened more than once and the problem has been prolonged, I'm pulling back and hoping for the best. I think there is a fair chance that in time, things will be ok. [/QUOTE]
