Even if the worst case scenario were to happen, YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HER ACTIONS!!!

A person who is severely depressed is not a rational person!! I say this because a healthy individual is not going to threaten suicide or even take their life over the ending of a friendship, a bad hair day, or whatever.

A healthy person is going to face their problems and resolve to overcome them, not be a cowardly chicken sh-- and take the easy way out by offing themselves!!

So if she is engaging in that kind of talk with you, I would immediately phone her Mom. If you are not sure what to say, why not type it and print it out first and then call her??

Whatever you do...someone needs to know, ASAP, so that she gets the proper help she needs.

I have a feeling though... based on this girl's past behavior of manipulating you, that she is bluffing and if you refuse to hang out with her anymore, she will not get suicidal, but rather she will probably act out in some sort of aggressive way (either physical or verbal) and/or perhaps even stalk you!

I suspect it will probably be verbal aggression and/or stalking more than anything else, but that's just my women's intuition on the matter.

However, since predictions and assumptions are never 100% accurate, phone her Mom ASAP!!!

That will at least help in getting this gal out of your hair and out of your life.

Anyway take care and let us know how everything goes.
