ravencat18,
Your friend can learn so much from you.  Sounds like you are the type of person that is patient and kind. Oh, she will be watching how you handle situations if you continue to do things together, even if she doesn't realize it.

Thanks for adding your comments...it's good to have folks like you giving me your honest input.  It's helped alot & is appreciated.  (and I do hope she takes the "que" and learns the lesson).

Raven -
Yup, Avant said it all. There is something that it causing your friend to be quite defensive, and each of her "explosions" of anger is an opportunity for her to learn, if she takes the que.

It took me awhile to understand what you were saying in your comment...had to re-read my post (oops, guess I need more caffeine than I thought this morning!).  Anyway, after I did the re-reading, I can now see what you mean.  It is about being a victim & being defensive & nothing about the topic.  Thanks...your comment helped clarify much for me!

I've been in this situation before with people, and it really is nothing about the topic in question. It's about feeling victimized and being defensive. Good post.
