I would not give this woman any more of my time. She will probably just interpret any contact from you as bullying somehow.

No. She has made it abundantly clear that she wants to break ties, I think this friendship has well and truly run its course.

I would be having nothing to do with them. This is one of those occasions where the phrase "with friends like these, who needs enemies?" seems to fit.

I wouldn't be contacting her at all. From what you have written your friendship ended with your sons relationship and you are hanging on to something that is no longer there.

It all sounds so precarious and although it sounds like the friendship has well and truly run it's course I probably would wish her a happy birthday.

QUOTE (Jemstar @ 09/12/2012, 11:41 AM) No, do not contact her. Ever. This. I'm so sorry that you & your son have been treated so poorly , but in this instance, you need to step away (for your own sakes!)

It really doesn't sound like she's had a breakdown. I think she's shown her true colours. Or her daughter has told her things about your son that may or may not be true. Either way, I would leave it. Don't send a message.

I would absolutely not wish her happy birthday. It is clear she is not wanting any type of friendship anymore, which is obviously upsetting for you, but from the sounds, you and your son might be better off away from them. It's a worry she is so paranoid and that has the potential to get worse, so it's much better to stay well away sadly.
