Many of my friends with older kids have some kind of drama related to them. Mental health often. It’s not easy to have teens.

Marriage drama — people have midlife crises or their spouses do. One friend had a spouse who transitioned.

Divorce drama, post divorce dating… yup.

The work drama is mainly from a friend who works in the creative industry.

On the extreme end of the spectrum I have one or two friends who have always struggled with mental health but for the most part I have drifted from people who are very unstable.

I don’t think it means they necessarily are dramatic people, many of these friends are very stable. Life is complicated. Raising families and having marriages is complicated. The closer you are to people the more they share about their struggles. I think it’s healthy to be able to do that. [/quote]

I think sharing is normal. I think expecting people to consistently drop what they’re doing so you can vent is not normal [/quote]
