Thanks.... I think I will stop sharing. That was the conclusion I came to after hanging up the phone with my friend last we spoke. Like, ok, you need to tell me what to do and how to do it as though I am incapable? I won't share any of my life problems anymore! lol.

They're more like distant friends now but yes, they both have always been this way. I am becoming less tolerant of BS as I get older I guess.

Sorry to write so little right now. I am utterly exhausted atm. But thank you. I really appreciate the support.
