x_x Your mom has seriously bad timing. I hope everything works out.

Writing about ravens does not make Edgar Allen Poe a raven. That's like calling J. R. R. Tolkien a hobbit. - Endrian

I hope so, too.

It's not over, really, though.

And I'm not being ditched.

It's, well, everyone--her family and other friends, as well.

I'm thinking more and more that that one set of people is intimdating her into a lot of it, because I know that they were giving her a LOT of trouble.

She's nto talking to me or most people right now, but I wonder if it's because she's ashamed of the entire thing.

If she comes by, though, I'd be sure to let her know I'm not ashamed of her--or really, any of my friends (in-person or otherwise)--unless she's done something like, say, remorselessly commit cold-blooded murder.

...and even then, I'd want to know WHY before I passed 100% complete judgement.

So, it may work. No one knows. People have phases, and honestly, I think I know what might be a problem.

I wonder if, in addition to the screw-ups that are pressuring her, if she's being put into the same 'moral tug-o-war' people have tried to put me into, with one side pressuring me to be 'fanatic religious/conservative/etc.', and the other side pressuring me to be 'fanatic liberal/wild/rebellious/etc.'.

I would wonder if that's happening, and the difference is that I hold up under the pressure from both sides, but she doesn't, and therefore feels pulled one way for a while, and then the opposite, and keeps teetering back and forth somehow.

It's just a theory, btu I would like to find out somehow.

I think the best thing I can do now is be just always watching, so to speak. Stay visible, let her see that I'm there, and let her realise how much trouble these people are being, and that they'll dump her in a minute the second she's 'too boring' or hard times come along.

I'm afraid if I try to force her too much to wake up, I'm going to get the 'damn it...just stop'...reaction, with how confused and stuff she probably is now.

You know, a reaction sort of like that dream where I was a darkworlder who had just gotten told to wake up and quit messing around and acting badly, but I was just tuning it out and going 'damn it, dude, just shut up...'.

Weird analogy, but it's actually a good one, now that I think about it. O_o

If a crazy undead lich hits an idiot Ascalonian prince over the head with a magical ice cream truck in the depths of a parallel dimension and no one else is around to hear it, does the water STILL make a splashy sound?

aww T.T well.. all I can say is that I hope everything turns out ok... *and gives lots of hugs, lol*

Thanks.

I just wish it were fixable.

It seems like--from what little we know--these people have just about brainwashed her, and she's probably not going to be right again.

And it's my fault for being an idiot and doing my schoolwork like my family told me to while they were hiding it all from me.

I can't do anything directly, as she's not speaking to any of her old friends.

These people have really gotten in and messed with her head, and now we don't know what they've done. Someone even thinks that they may have tried getting her on drugs or something.

If that's happened, she'll be horrible right on.

This was the last thing I needed--I didn't ever want something like this to be my fault.

awww T.T that's a bad sign... things like that can really mess people up...

It's not your fault... especially in no one told you about it till now... if you knew about it, but ignored in for school, etc until now - then that's a different story, but you didn't so it's not your fault. You'll all fine a way to pull her through this some how, I'm sure - it just might take time T.T

I really *didn't* know--my mom hid it from me like an 'oh-so-mature adult', and then used the 'uh, I was trying to uhhhh...PROTECT YOU!' excuse for it.

But I still feel so horrible about it.

I feel like I'm not allowed to be anything but depressed until it gets fixed.

Hard to explain. Sort of...I feel like if I don't feel bad, I'm being a thoughtless, shallow, careless ass.

I keep thinking about it, and I sincerly hope it will get work out.
