Hi Buffy01, Thanks for your input. Jenny is an extraordinarily lonely woman. My frustration with her is that she does not do a single thing to help herself or to improve her life. She lives with and cares for her elderly mother, which I admire. But then Jenny never has any money to do anything special for herself. I have strongly suggested to her (even given her links) that she apply as her mother's caregiver so she can be paid by the state in which she lives. She wasn't motivated to do that. I believe that Jenny is very depressed, which is so sad.

No, I would definitely not take legal action against Jenny. There's no basis for that, and it would be cruel and excessive. I care about her - perhaps more than she cares about herself - and that is the problem. I do care about her, but she wants me to be there for her whenever she needs me. Her neediness is smothering and the drama she creates to cause excitement in her life is exceedingly annoying.
