[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend just lost her mother.  I knew the mother, because she visited my friend several times over the years, and we saw each other at birthdays, holidays and gatherings. She was a sweet lady, sick for a few months before her death.  It is always difficult to lose a parent - and in this case, also a grandparent to my friends' children.  We have a mutual friend (?) who has this bizarre habit of trying to convince others that what my friend says is hyperbole.  So much so, that when my friend's mother died, the other friend said "are you sure"?

The other friend has been on the attack of my friend (since before the mom died), and seems to have a problem with her (my guess is jealousy, but I am not willing to delve into it - she is very sweet, on top of going through this tremendous loss). WTH kind of response is that?  Who says that? I am beginning to think the friend who is on the attack is mentally ill.  We are distancing ourselves after this bizarre behavior.[b] I am tempted to ask for her to apologize to our friend[/b] (friend hasn't mentioned it, but it was just so out of line and inappropriate, to say the least).

Should we drop it (when I say we, I am defending my sweet friend, not the nasty one)? She's like a child who learned a new word - it is just so inaccurate, as the sweet friend is probably being attacked because she is sweet (she is not stupid, she is quite accomplished, she is just not in a place right now to deal with this insult - and she also above acting like this other person). [/quote]

Who the heck are you to demand an apology from one adult to another?  Your 'friend' who attacks the other friend does not sound like a good friend, and that is cause not to be friends with her anymore, and you can state why.  That's it.[/quote]
