Lollllll This is OP, and I’ve seen this happen before.  Plus I didn’t think it was worth getting into, but basically, just recently, I’m pretty sure Ann is a little hurt about something I did even though it had nothing to do with her or our kids and was purely due to scheduling issues.  I could have explained this to her to avoid hurt feelings, and know she would have in my shoes because she’s that kind of person, but I’m not. [/quote]

I do not tiptoe around adults who are oversensitive. That is their issue to work out. It''s one thing if they just had a close death in the family or something huge happen to them, but some generally anxious oversensitive person? No, I won't. I am kind and fair and if someone's feelings are hurt because of their own issues, that's their thing work out on their own. [/quote]

This is OP.  I would have explained things to her had we been talking in person.  But texting, during the day when I’m busy, I have to keep things short, so yeah no tiptoeing.[/quote]

And you haven’t talked to her since?

Realizing that your child struggles socially, and may have a diagnosis that impacts them lifelong is something huge.  It’s also when you find out who your friends really are.

I was going to come and make some suggestions, but it seems what [b]you are looking for is a way to continue to use her to meet your needs, while you refuse to meet hers[/b].  My suggestion would be for her to find kind friends, not selfish ones like you.[/quote]

NP. Very interesting and insightful take on the situation.[/quote]
