[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 519241"] Oh and what a difficult child she is!!! I woke up yesterday morning to two texts - one at 4am and another at 4:56am. The 4am one was from my friend! Asked to please call her when I wake up, that it is about difficult child, but that difficult child is fine to her knowledge. The other text is from difficult child saying, "I thought I had told you that if you continued talking to Stacey (one of her friends that reached out to me trying to help difficult child), I would no longer acknowledge you?". Um, excuse me??? For one, I have not talked to this friend since she threw a fit about it before. Second, I will not be spoken to like that - even via text. Exactly who does she think she is? She is threatening to not acknowledge me?? Is this supposed to be a threat??? HA! I have not even responded I am still so mad about that. So, I call my friend, dreading what she is going to end up telling me. She says that she took anti-anxiety medications for the first time on Saturday afternoon and she ended up passing out around 1pm. She woke up early that night to see a text from my difficult child saying, "please come rescue me" in all caps. So of course she is freaking out thinking something was going on with the boyfriend so she calls difficult child and difficult child is now fine and wants to stay put. Lovely. So now she is bringing the crazy to my friend's life. Friend wants to go get her and keeps trying to insist but difficult child is short on the phone with her responses and is firm about not going anywhere. I apologize profusely to my friend for introducing the crazy to her but she is insistent for me not to feel that way, that she loves to help people and has not been able to help anyone in a long time. She is still thinking she is going to save difficult child... So my friend forwards me a text that she had sent difficult child yesterday telling her that she has a great opportunity in front of her.
