Voterperson, Then do as Susan asks. Don't call her anymore. You need a job and money, so you can feel free to apply anywhere and everywhere. Things are hard for everyone right now. Just because Susan got fired from the company, is no reason you cannot apply there. Maybe she is just a little jealous that you may get hired. If Susan does call you again, just tell her that you are going to honor her wishes, and not bother her anymore. Tell her you would love to still be her friend, but you can't if she won't let you call. Then don't worry about it anymore. Just give it a little time. I am sure Susan will soon realize what a mistake she made, and that she will be losing all of her friends if she keeps talking the way she does. If Susan still does want to be friends, maybe you can encourage her to seek some grief counselling. She is feeling guilty over the fights with her mom, now that mom is gone. Maybe talking to a counsellor will help her to get over her grief and her guilt, and make her a more enjoyable person to be around. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving, voterperson.
