@Samicat, thank you. I definitely have validated myself, but after speaking with her recent ex boyfriend, it just sealed my conclusion that she is an angry drunk. What an ordeal! I don't think the Stoic viewpoint is very realistic when it comes to human behavior. We get upset in reaction to someone's abuse and disrespect. I don't think there's any way to get around that upset.

@willowtigger, thank you so much... you are very sweet!
