I have a friend that I was not connected with for about 20 years . We had been the best of friends and I was super excited to have her back in my life. Now, I am not so sure.
She had lost her spouse last year and has a son that is 13 or 14. She is really unhappy, miserable, overly sensitive to everything anyone says that she doesn't agree with and is very controlling.
I just don't know what to do. I want to be there for her and her son, but she is so sensitive that we can't say anything to her without her thinking it's a jab at her or negative in her eyes.
I would feel extremely guilty for "dumping" her as a friend, but with my issues right now, I just don't feel like I can deal with it.
She puts it on me like I was the one in the wrong. It's really hard to explain the entire situation, but basically she said she doesn't feel like I understand her, that I did not listen to her, that I am not being a friend.
I am not sure what to do.
