[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 739109, member: 17720"] Leafy, I'm sorry you had to receive such a call. She's being (I only say this because what I REALLY want to say will be bleeped out) a ([B]real jerk[/B]). And I am not making excuses for her, because it's inexcusable. I'm angry too. What a ([B]ahem...jerk[/B]). BUT, in some tiny way, it also makes me feel a little bit hopeful. She's like a cornered animal. She can't shunt her emotions with substances or wild them away, so she has no choice but to start to process her ([B]ahem...stuff[/B]). It reminds me of the calls we received when my son was angling to get out of jail and the first few months in sober living. Good lord -- I don't know why we answered the phone. You would be well within your rights not to. I'm so sorry for the way she drew blood. It's terrible and uncalled for and a cheap shot, discounting your loss that way. BUT...it sounds like she is starting to process her ([B]ahem...crap[/B]). She's starting to grieve, and to acknowledge. Quite inappropriately and directed at whomever is unlucky enough to be in the line of fire, but it's a start. I fervently hope she let a little light in with her outburst. Maybe some of her darkness can be dispelled. In the meantime, you would be well within your rights not to take any calls from her for quite awhile. [/QUOTE]
