I've just probably had my last phone conversation with a friend I had considered very close to my heart. She and her husband had adopted the sibling of our son whom we had adopted and I'd been so happy that we'd be able to share information on the siblings together.

Turns out that she's probably undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and says she doesn't want me to call her until my husband and I both admit that we're liars and that we're posting online and spreading lies that they're abusing their girl. What else can I do but honor her request because I can't admit to anything we didn't do.

I'm just so sad about losing a good friend to such crap and not being able to help her at all. Everyone here keeps saying to let her go. It would be easier if they didn't have our son's sister to raise. I wanted to keep them pretty much together so when it came time to share that they are full-blooded siblings, they'd have had the contact for years.

To all of you who have been getting meds or talk therapy.....I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! I know it's not an easy road but there are those of us who care....family and friends who are devastated for those who don't get any help or don't even see a need for doctors.
