I feel like she freaked out on me needlessly...opinions?

You were not out of line. She only took it the wrong way because she's really scared and upset about her situation. She wants someone to feel sorry for her and be bluntly worried for her and her children. I have a friend whose a total drama queen. I finally told her that she really doesn't need to call me about every little thing. She's an adult and can take care of herself. She doesn't need to vent in my ear all the time. She listened, got d and was scared to call me about it. I was so mad at myself for making her feel like she couldn't call me for anything. That's not what I meant at all!!! What I'm trying to explain here is that people with a lot of drama tend to take what you say to the extreme. Were you out of line, no. Did she take what you said in the worst way possible, yes. Hence the drama. You just have to be extra careful about what you say and how you say it. Oh, no worries about my friend. Authorities took care of the a$$hole and we found her a therapist that she feels really comfortable with. ~Q
