273.5 a -- the fun continues.

Friday, I got a frantic call from my friend/ex-gf...
She got into it with her roommate(s).  Not me.  (yay).

She texted me "Emergency".  I texted back "Call 911", because I've already been dragged through the drama. Turns out she wasn't kidding.

Police were called, and she and he... were both arrested.  Kids went to DCFS
Now.  I feel guilty.  Not very guilty, I didn't create the situation; but I didn't help, either.
ALL my friends have said "dump this person" and run away quickly.

But, how do you help a troubled person otherwise?

The state of california doesn't.  They turf the mentally-ill downtown by skid row, and roust them from anywhere they camp...

I cannot bail her out, it's too much money to risk.  Maybe if I wasn't in debt ...

and I feel terrible for the kids.

Again with the ghosts...

So I have this stalker-person.  

She's elected herself judge, jury and executioner.  She's claiming all sorts of bad things about me, and it seems to come and go (with her medications?).  It's also a shame, since she's got so many details of my life wrong... I haven't been able to shift her one bit from her allegations; and she ranges from 30 seconds of cordial to vehemently hostile... especially at 2 am (when she likes to call).  

I haven't been able to figure out who she is...   even through the miracles of technology (Caller-ID), I know "who" the phone calls are coming from.   I don't recognize the name displayed, it's not  anyone I know.  I figure she must have been in the group of folk I knew 13-15 years ago, but haven't a clue...

Did you know that Vonage won't let you block a particular number?, just anonymous calls...  It's not in the feature set.
