[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 735769, member: 16024"] Am I the only friend you have? Maybe there is a reason for that..... No, I wouldn’t really say that, but I would be thinking it, and a lot more uncharitable things..... Pink is correct—you don’t have to justify yourself to her. When you get on the phone, tell her you only have fifteen minutes to talk. If she asks why, tell her you have other things to. If she argues, tell her that you must go NOW. If you have to say it twice, gently hang up. Anyone that would browbeat a friend into doing something they don’t want to do isn’t really a friend and is using them for their own selfish purposes. That is not normal behavior, so don’t let her get away with it. At the end of your call, tell her that you will talk to her in a few days. Then, don’t answer for a few days. You must ween her off of you. She is way too dependent, and that is not good. Keep doing this. Don’t give in to her. And, no matter what she claims, she is neglecting her kids. [/QUOTE]
