We can talk when you are more calm.” Then just don’t answer her text or calls until you see an apology and clear message that the attitude has shifted and she’s feeling better.

I do this to my husband, parents and friends. And it works because when you get wrapped up in another persons negativity they feed off that and it ends up not being healthy for either party.
That great advice!
