Right now, there have been texts flying back and forth because no matter what I say or how kindly I try to say it, she takes offense to it. I don’t know what to say. I don't want to say anything that I'll regret because right now I'm seriously pissed off about the whole situation and it's taking every ounce of self-control I have within me not to scream at her "WTF is wrong with you?"
