Haha actually now i realise your situation is not much like mine afterall, at least my friend does listen to me and she wouldn't dare tell me to wear my hair a certain way!
I truly don't understand when people don't listen...it often makes me wonder, so i can totally understand why you stepped back. I'm sorry that you got hurt....i guess some people will never change...i've still yet to get my head around that one though!

Take care, - mmm....i don't think i'd cope having to 'take care' of her lol! sorry!!
