It would be interesting to hear what her answer is. I think it's time you cut her out of your life. You don't need someone who is giving off that kind of energy. And if your son can see it too...it must be pretty bad. I'm sorry.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578709549316760654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335437599101069124.post-57196639007570459852009-05-07T06:25:00.000-07:002009-05-07T06:25:00.000-07:00Lulu, this friendship sounds toxic.

I even went so far as to block emails and ignore phone calls.<br />Its not easy, and for a while I felt a little guilty when I saw messages or missed calls from the person- but I reminded myself what the person put me through to strengthen my resolve.AngelConradiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423318903817661244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335437599101069124.post-53706515127898379352009-05-07T04:41:00.000-07:002009-05-07T04:41:00.000-07:00You need to just set up a meeting before she does ...You need to just set up a meeting before she does something nice again and starts the whole ball rolling. Have everything listed out that you are unhappy about and tell her that you will not accept that behaviour anymore. If she persists with her hurtful behaviour and then turns up with a gift, just tell her that you cannot accept her gift etc if she is not prepared to change her behaviour. This is just like the wife-beating husband who is always sorry and loving afterwards.BioniKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160435019367425283noreply@blogger.com
