Quote: BUT, I have given her plenty of reasons to be mad at me. And out of all these things she's angry about, I am the easiest one to eliminate.
You're also the handiest one to turn to.
I'm absolutely convinced that she doesn't want to eliminate you. She just doesn't want to feel like crap all the time.
She's breaking all the "laws" you two were raised with, and right now she probably doesn't see any way to get to a place where she/y'all can just live and be happy.
It's a good thing her rebellion is taking the form of anger instead of depression. Be steadfast and let her work through some of this. Don't get in the middle of her struggle with these issues. Be supportive in a neutral way without adding fuel to the fire.
Does she have anyone that she talks to besides this friend? Is the friend part of the religious group that y'all were raised in? Or is she outside of it?
