I grew up with a girl who I didn't realize had some serious mental health issues until I was too deeply involved to know how to handle it. I did the right things, got her into counseling and AA and ultimately a woman's shelter because she said her husband was abusing her. From there she disappeared for months and re-surfaced with a phone call at 3 AM which became a pattern until I told her to leave me alone (for the first time). I'd think I'd gotten rid of her and she'd do something like trick my sister into giving her my email. A few years ago she kept trying to get me to friend her on facebook and when I didn't went to one of my real friends to get him to try to get me to friend her. Then she sent me messages about how sad her life was and how I should feel sorry for her (these arriving while I was IP and struggling with not wanting to live) until I blocked her. I know she'd still and always will try to contact me if given a chance and she has been told that she's used her last chance and that if she harasses me I will get a restraining order, something she's familiar with from others in her life. Hopefully it never comes to that but she is so disruptive and upsets me so much that I can't imagine ever wanting to deal with her again (and it's very bad for my mental health to try, as I've found out over and over). I could tell so many stories about times she manipulated me but I won't b/c with my luck with her she'd find them, recognize herself, think I wanted to be friends and ruin PC for me (joke).
