Hi. My friend broke up with her boyfriend of two months,and this happened a few hours ago. Friend #1's bf was her boyfriend, Friend #2 is another friend of Friend #1:

Friend #1:(her status)

Hah! You think I'm going to be sad because you broke up with me? You think I'm going to come running back when you're done caring what other people and your ex say? You called her annoying and stupid and other things I will not say. Have fun with her. She's probably hotter than I am :)

Friend #2

Well, here's a life lesson. Girl's don't give a****if you still "want to be friends". They like having boyfriends. Now you're enemy number one. Life lesson #2 Girls don't like it when you break up with their best friends. Here's what I, and many of Delaney's other friends, would do as follows: We would rip out your gentals, burn them, and then shove them down your throat. I hope you just learned something. Sincerely Delaney's cousin, whom will kick your *** if I meet you. Love friend #2

I don't think I should comment,but what should I say if friend #1 tells me about it since she's not sad? I want to stay out of it as much as possible. I don't want to go exactly like friend #2 did,but i just don't know what I would say if Friend #1 did tell me about it. Help?

boundaries boundaries boundaries.

If you feel someone sucking you into their drama - you need to put a little distance between you and that person

"I do not wish to be involved in this. That is between you and (X) none of my business."

spinnaker agony auntA couple of rules of counseling are

- make sure you control the conversation not the person who you are talking to. Ask specific questions and do not be afraid to stop someone if they start trailing off in endless homilies that string 100 different issues together.

- Chances are the person you are talking to knows the answer to their problem. They just need someone to either verify what they are thinking is sound or they need someone who will challenge them out of denial.
