[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 699705, member: 355"] OMG! It appears that you have all "been there, done that, bought the t-shirt!" And you are definitely showing me the error of my ways. I would have been sucked back into the vortex of words...and then into the vicious 'circular' conversation. I spent far too much time trying to decipher her comments and planning responses. She is working on the fear factor of writing a book (which will probably read as well as "Mommy Dearest") about her horrible family and upbringing. She does have a gift for writing, though!!! I will wait another day before I respond to her - I will keep the words short and to the point. Thank you for the suggestions of what to say. It really, really helps. There will be NO MONEY given. With the exception of the jail bailout, she would always promise to pay back every cent. Ha! Her friend who is bankrolling her trip has shelled out in excess of $30K ($1,000 to $1,200 per month). I guess that's "love" and "support" to her. It's sad that she can't put as much effort into looking for a job as she does in crafting her epic e-mails! She might be on the New York Times best seller list! [/QUOTE]
