So the past 3 days have been absolute hell. I had a friend who I decided to no longer be friends with because of some of the things she has been doing. She kicked her oldest daughter out who is 19 and my husband and I gladly took her in hoping to give her a place where she could collect her thoughts and relax a bit. Instead her mom called our house over 10 times leaving nasty messages and texts. I told her daughter it would be okay. But it wasn't, her mom won't let her back home because she is angry at me and taking it out on her. Bacause of the stress of it all I'm having one nasty flare up. I tryed to do everything I could to prevent this. I kept taking deep breathes, went for a nice long walk last night and wrote in my journal. Her daughter stayed with us last night and when I woke up this morning the amount of pain I was in is the worst I have had in a while. I also feel so sad because of the circumstances of the situation. I'm not sure what to do. I can't shut the door on her. I'm also anxious to hear about
my result from the MRI that I had which will hopefully be on Monday. Well thanks for listening. I'm trying really hard to stay relaxed and take care of myself through this but I feel like I am failing miserably

Sounds like you are going to have to ride this one out. I just had a flare due to the weather, but it ended. Not without a lot of pain though. I know how you feel. Take it one day at a time. You are so sweet to take in your friend's daughter. I am sorry her jealousy is causing her to act the way that she is. Try not to take it too personal. It doesn't sound like she is thinking too clearly. She is probably having a hard time coping. Just take in her daughter while you can, though I would let her know it isn't permanent, unless it is.
Hugs, Karen

I think it makes you a true friend for making her sure her daughter has a safe roof. Maybe when your friend's mind is clearer she will see how dangerous it is for a giirl that age to be on the streets.
I know it rarely works that way but I think maybe thinking about
it that way may help relieve some of your stress. Hope it all clears up soon.

Give her mom time to cool down. Once she calms some maybe you can get together and work things out. Bless you for helping keep her daughter off the streets, giving her a roof over her head, and love.
Lisa-means dedicated, devoted one :)

Thanks to all of you for your comforting words. I do not feel it is in my best intrest to ever be friends with this person. Her life revolves around drama which is something I enjoy living without. But regardless I will continue to let her daughter stay with us untill she is back on her feet. Thank you all again :)
