you did the right thing. it is difficult when you attempt to help people and they keep turning toward you with their problems and you have no control over the outcomes. i was working with a young girl for quite some time being very gentle in my proddings to get her to tell her parents, her school counselor, someone about her depression. i couldnt be the only one she talked to. so she finally got brave enough to tell her parents and say she needed help...........and she got in trouble. they grounded her and took away all her electronics for cutting. this was not the outcome i was hoping for. now, she is unable to talk to even me anymore. we dont have much power over what happens in this medium. we never know what we are going to run into. we have to be very careful. distract yourself with other things. she will most likely be fine. she sounds pretty manipulative. take care.
